This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a non-competitive acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY) in Kittery, Maine. The procurement is for a 10-inch Sensus OMNI+ Fireline water meter with an electronic register and Floating Ball Technology, specifically to support water supply capabilities at the Kittery Water District. The procurement is associated with Contract No. N62470-25-R-0004 for a MILCON P1080 Design-Bid-Build project focused on Power Reliability and Water Resiliency Upgrades.
The J&A justifies the sole-source procurement based on the water meter being the only product on the market that meets the specific requirements and having unique design characteristics. The document indicates that the procurement is for a brand-name product particular to one manufacturer, with the selection based on the meter's compliance with the solicitation's specific needs. The acquisition will be conducted under the simplified acquisition threshold, with the Contracting Officer determining that only one source is reasonably available due to the product's distinctive features and meeting the water district's standardization requirements.
