Basis For Decision That Only One Source Is Available Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a sole source or brand name. For example, the material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. (unique features, function of the item, etc.). Describe in detail why only this source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources.

Some examples of reasons that only one source is available include but are not limited to

A patent, copyright or proprietary data that limit competition Urgency These are direct replacement parts/components for existing equipment Brand Name requirement

DoD Guidebook for Acquiring Commercial Items Part B, Pricing Commercial Items (Page 2):

“The fact is DoD must acquire a significant amount of “sole source” items and services that meet the commercial item definition. Frequently, DoD ends up in commercial sole source situations for reasons other than there only being one qualified firm that can provide the product or service. One common reason is the nonrecurring cost and time investment spent by the Government and commercial supplier to tailor their commercial item to meet a military purpose.”

These items are direct replacement parts for the existing Flexible Fan Connector Assembly installed on LCC-19 USS Blue Ridge. To ensure proper fit, form, function, and compatibility with the existing equipment, these items must be procured on a brand-name requirement basis from Proco Products Inc (CAGE: 0B1N0). Components manufactured by other sources have not been tested, qualified, or approved for use in this application and may not provide the required performance or compatibility with the existing assembly.

Proco Products Inc is specified on DWG 501-5287967 Section 19 Sheet 2 as the manufacturer of the approved replacement parts for this equipment. Proco Products Inc maintains exclusive ownership and control of the design, engineering, manufacturing processes, and quality assurance requirements associated with these parts. The technical data package, including drawings, specifications, and inspection criteria, constitutes proprietary intellectual property owned by Proco Products Inc

No known alternate manufacturers are authorized, licensed, or technically capable of producing an approved equivalent item that meets the required form, fit, function, and performance characteristics. Accordingly, only Proco Products Inc can satisfy the Government's requirement.
