N3904026Q5120 Attachment 3 Limited Source Justification Redacted.pdf

This document is a Limited Source Justification (LSJ) for a vertical pull test machine, revised on 09/30/2020, for a procurement under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The maintenance team at a naval shipyard requires a Chant Model 31375-01-Proof Test Machine for load testing of chain falls. Chant Engineering is the only source for this specific calibration and Customer Service engineering, as they directly offer the equipment and do not authorize other vendors to complete calibration on their proprietary equipment.

The justification highlights that without this specific machine, the lifting and handling shop's capabilities would be detrimentally impacted. Maintaining certified lifting gear is critical for ensuring personnel safety during shipyard operations. The document seeks approval to procure this equipment from a single source based on exclusive licensing agreements, with a required delivery period of 11/30/2025. The LSJ is signed and approved by technical and contracting personnel, with the same approval date of 11/24/2025.
