JA 25Q2215_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for the Department of the Navy, Military Sealift Command (MSC) Norfolk, seeking to award a single contract on a non-competitive basis for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Electric Heater Co Hot Water Tank Systems and associated parts. The procurement is for Ten (10) Ship Sets, total quantity often Ship Sets GL ST T4 Hot Water Tanks with ABS Survey Certificates, with a required delivery date of August 2025 and funding from United States Navy Working Capital Funds.

The J&A justifies the sole-source procurement based on mission-critical requirements, noting fourteen active T-AO vessels in the MSC fleet currently using these specific systems. Competition will be limited because only the OEM can provide proprietary technical data, drawings, and regulatory compliance for these systems. The contract will include pre-negotiated part prices, with the Contracting Officer determining fair and reasonable costs using techniques described in FAR 15.404-1, ensuring that the pricing aligns with market conditions and potential inflation adjustments.
