LSJ SAP Limited Source Justification SIGNED._Redacted.pdf

This document is a Limited Source Justification (LSJ) for a simplified acquisition under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).

The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard requires a contractor to manufacture a machine block to serve as a Ultrasonic Testing (UT) standard for Portsmouth Naval Shipyard UT Inspectors. The requirement was identified on April 24, 2026, with a delivery date of July 15, 2026. The justification cites an unusual and compelling urgency as the basis for limiting competition to a single source. The procurement is time-critical because obtaining the UT calibration standard by July 15, 2026, is necessary to remove delays from schedules and allow Portsmouth Naval Shipyard to perform UT inspections on subsequent work evolutions. Delaying delivery of the machined block would impact vendor lead times and subsequent work activities requiring completion of UT testing prior to commencement of other tasks. The justification states that Portsmouth Naval Shipyard does not possess the assets, tooling, and measuring equipment required to manufacture and inspect this UT standard, and only limited contractors are authorized to perform this specialized service. The Technical/Requirements Certification was executed by Jason Laflamme on June 3, 2026, and the Contracting Officer Approval was granted by Anthony Barker on June 8, 2026.
