This document is a Sole Source Justification (SSJ) form from NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers for a limited procurement of control panel components for the USS SACAGAVEA (T-AKE 2). The document details a critical safety item acquisition from Kongsberg Maritime for specific spare parts, including a Lever Unit (PN: K137325), Socket Head Screws (PN: ULS92344), Plug VSTI R (PN: 90189), and Sleeve (PN: ULSK983446). The procurement is characterized as a sole source requirement, with Kongsberg Maritime being the exclusive manufacturer and having no authorized distributors, which precludes competitive bidding. The technical justification cites the need for direct replacements compatible with existing shipboard equipment, referencing the OFM Technical Manual for Bow Thruster Control Systems.

The solicitation (N0040625PS172) is scheduled for award on 03 June 2025 and involves purchasing multiple quantities of specialized marine control system components. The document emphasizes that only authorized field service technicians can access the necessary technical data, and the identified parts are critical for maintaining the existing propulsion and machinery control systems. The sole source justification is supported by the unique proprietary nature of the components and the requirement for precise form, fit, and function compatibility with the current shipboard equipment.
