About this file

This is a Justification for Brand Name document supporting a simplified procurement procedure for a single-source supply purchase. Purchase Request/Document number 1301357913 seeks an Eaton Cutler-Hammer Magnum DS low voltage power circuit breaker, model MDSC253WEA, CAT# MDSC253WEA25MTCNAA6Y HNNAX, to be delivered immediately after award. The circuit breaker is required to power the supply to main operational equipment at NCTS Sicily and serves as a critical direct replacement component for existing generator-supported power infrastructure. Competition is precluded because this is an exact one-to-one replacement part where equivalents are unacceptable; the generator providing redundant power to the site is inoperable without this specific breaker, and the supply must maintain complete compatibility in form, fit, and function with existing installed systems. The procurement may be fulfilled through authorized resellers of the manufacturer. The justification certifies that the information provided is complete and accurate and acknowledges that this brand name restriction precludes full and open competition.
