MEMORANDUM FOR FILE

FROM: Vance Haddock

CODE: 653

TO: Code 02 SUBJECT: Sole Source/Brand Name Justification / Limited Source Justification for Use of Other than Full &

Open Competition for an Acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT)

I. BACKGROUND

1. FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) states for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contracting Officers may solicit from one source if the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available.

2. FAR 8.405-6(b)(1) states Brand name specifications shall not be used unless the particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to the Government’s requirements, and market research indicates other companies’ similar products, or products lacking the particular feature, do not meet, or cannot be modified to meet, the agency’s needs.

3. As required by FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i), this memorandum explains the absence of competition for this acquisition, as only one source will be solicited for this requirement (or for a portion of the requirement) and the requirement is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.

4. This memorandum is derived from Enclosure 3, Department of Navy Simplified Acquisition Procedures Guide (April 2018) and is only applicable to acquisitions under the SAT.

III. BASIS FOR DETERMINATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL & OPEN COMPETITION

A. BRAND NAME:

Item required must be a brand name product, or feature of a product, particular to one manufacturer.

The Test and Evaluation Branch, Code 653, of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWCCD) Structural Evaluation Laboratory has a requirement to operate the facility hydraulics equipment to allow for continuous 24x7 fatigue cycling testing over a period of years.

The Structural Evaluation Laboratory require durable hydraulic hoses that’s manufactured with the reliability to exceed baseline standards.

The ISO 18752-DC standard for hydraulic hoses and hose assemblies is no leaks after an impulse test of ,000,000 cycles from 0% to 133% of the constant working pressures hydraulic hose or hose assembly.

Parker Hannifin-Product Hose Division GlobalCore model 787TC-12 hydraulic hose and model 10677-12-12 series 77 hose fitting paired as a hose assembly are impulse tested to 2,000,000 cycles from 0% to 133% of the hose constant working pressure, which is double the standard of ISO 18752-DC.

The Parker GlobalCore hose assembly price is higher than other OEM’s using the ISO 18752 standard but exceeds all in durability and can provide a longer service life in the harsh environment of constant pressure fatigue cycling testing in the Structural Evaluation Laboratory.

An in-depth market research of other OEM’s, was unable to find another manufacturer that exceed the ISO 18752- DC standard
