This is a Sole Source or Brand Name Justification Form from NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers for procurement action PR 1301306663. The government seeks Thunder 1040S ADC (Hardware) support maintenance for four units with serial numbers TH10064018370056, TH10064018480026, TH10064018480007, and TH10064018460041. The required delivery date is March 1, 2026, with a performance period from March 14, 2026 through March 13, 2027. The form designates A10 Inc as the required manufacturer and specifies a brand name requirement for this procurement.

The justification for restricting competition to A10 Inc is based on multiple factors: security requirements mandate that SRF-JRMC maintain active support agreements on all products and hardware; Thunder 1040S ADC hardware is currently operational at SRF where it load balances an SSO solution, provides high availability to a SIEM front end and local SharePoint, and performs other critical functions; support maintenance can only be provided by the manufacturer or manufacturer-authorized vendors; and the equipment represents direct replacement parts and components for existing systems where no other parts will function as alternatives. The form confirms that the requested material represents the minimum requirements of the government and certifies that the information provided is complete and correct without classified information.
