1.04 Brand name justification REDACTED and Posted version.pdf

This is a Sole Source/Brand Name Justification document from NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers for a procurement restricted to ELASTEC as the required manufacturer.

The procurement (ProTrack ID 20260005336) is for ELASTEC equipment with a required delivery date of September 30, 2026, and an estimated total cost of $50,000.00. The specific items required are two ELASTEC D9 Hydraulic Power Units (PowerPacks) and a spares kit consisting of six hydraulic filters, two air filters, and two engine oil filters. The document confirms that the requested material represents the minimum requirements of the government and that this procurement is strictly for a direct, drop-in replacement engine to restore operational readiness of a mission-critical Elastec D9 Boom Reel Power Unit already in inventory. The justification for the brand name requirement centers on technical compatibility: the replacement engine must be a Yanmar air-cooled diesel engine with specific physical dimensions, mounting bolt patterns, and power take-off shaft configurations that align precisely with the compact, open-style stainless steel cage frame and integrated hydraulic systems of the existing D9 unit. The document notes that procuring alternative engine brands would require extensive and costly aftermarket modifications including re-engineering mounting brackets, custom-fabricating pump adaptors, altering fuel lines, and modifying the protective cage, with engineering labor and procurement delays far exceeding the cost of the direct Yanmar replacement. The procurement was justified and certified by Hiromi Miyahira, Purchasing & Contract Assistant, on July 21, 2026, with digital signature approval from the FLCPS Contracting Officer on July 22, 2026.
