4.03 Justification Brand Name Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Brand Name document for a simplified procedures procurement under the Micro-Purchase Threshold (MPT) to Small Business.

The Naval Submarine Support Facility (NSSF) is procuring brand-specific Honeywell/Uline eyewash stations and related equipment to meet safety program requirements per OPNAV 5100.19 and ANSI Z358.1 specifications. The procurement includes four line items: 22 units of Honeywell Pure Flow 1000® Eyewash Stations (Model H-1297), 22 units of dust covers for the stations (Model H-12152), 27 units of Honeywell Pure Flow 1000® saline cartridge sets (Model S-11507 in 3.5-gallon/2-carton configuration), and 100 Tamper Seal Trilingual Labels for eyewash stations (Model H-1297-SEAL). The required delivery is 30 days after receipt of order (ARO) to Groton, Connecticut, with FOB destination terms.

The justification specifies that only Honeywell/Uline brand equipment can satisfy the requirements because the Naval Submarine Support Facility mandates brand-specific equipment to meet OPNAV 5100.19/Navy Safety and Occupational Health Program Manual standards and comply with ANSI Z358.1 specifications. The supplies must interface properly with existing government assets, and these are direct replacement parts for current installations. Honeywell/Uline is identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with headquarters in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, and the company holds proprietary data limiting competition. The contracting officer determined that the circumstances reasonably justify single-source, brand-name procurement in accordance with FAR 12.102(a).
