_X_ Description of the item or service required, the estimated cost, and required delivery date.

Two 5000 gallon nominal, Horizontal cylindrical tanks, 316L stainless steel. Maximum allowable carbon content is 0.08 percent. Vessel in accordance with ASME BPVC Section VIII D 1. All wetted surfaces to be certified mercury, mercury compounds, low melting point metals (antimony, bismuth, cadmium, lead, tin and zinc) and alloys of these metals free. Vessels shall be designed to withstand complete vacuum, reinforcement if required shall be external to the vessels. Vessels must have a final interior finish at all locations with a surface roughness of 125µinches RA (rough average) or smoother. The surface must not snag a cleanliness cloth while performing a swipe test. The vessels will be used to support a new steel mezzanine framing. Mezzanine per enclosed specifications.

__ Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a sole source (unique features, function of the item, etc.). Describe in detail why only this suggested source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources.

BRAND NAME MANDATORY:

_X_ The requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the government.

The design for the tanks was a joint effort between Steel-Pro and Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY) NA VF AC, Code 980 and Code 2380 in 2010-2011 for use in the Pure Water system in Building 277 at PNSY. NA VSHIPYD Portsmouth purchased two tanks to from this design effort through Steel-Pro in 2011. The tanks have been operational at PNSY since the fall of 2011.

The engineering effort of 2010-2011 has been well spent and the partnership with Steel-Pro has paid for itself. Going to another vendor for quotes will slow down production, will cause a repeat of the engineering effort and add to the final cost of the contract.

CHECK & FILL IN ALL APPLICABLE BLANKS BELOW

_ll_ The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Describe the equipment/function you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.

Portsmouth Production Personnel are fully trained to the Steel Pro tanks in Bldg. 277. Multiple NSl's will need revisions and additional spare parts to match another manufacturers tanks will need to be ordered and stored for future use if Steel-Pro is not the source of the tanks, and the associated mezzanine. Considerable cost will be added if the engineering effort of 2010-2011 .

will need to be repeated.

_ll_ A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is:

The fabrication drawings forwarded to PNSY (Steel-Pro Dwg. T-1371) used for the PNSY Bldg 277 tank replacement are available from Code 2380 but are proprietary to Steel-Pro.

__ These are "direct replacements" parts/components for existing equipment.

_X__ Other information to support a sole source buy:

Funds for the two tanks have been appropriated from the Overhead Non Labor Board using Fiscal year 2018 funds.

I CERTIFY THAT STATEMENTS CHECKED, AND INFORMATION PROVIDED ABOVE, ARE

COMPLETE AND CORRECT TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE

PROCESSING OF THIS SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION PRECLUDES THE USE OF FULL AND
