About this file
This is a Brand Name/Sole Source Justification document for a federal procurement request.
The government seeks to procure battery replacement and related services for existing power infrastructure. The specific items include: 144 units of Replacement Battery Enersys 12HX50FR (part number QWBATT-QMSC24641-NSUSD), 144 units of Battery Replacement Service for Symmetra MW System installation and removal labor (part number WBATTREPLC-MW-00), 144 units of Scheduling Upgrade service from 5X8 to 7X24 for existing battery replacement (part number WUPGBATRPL7-UP-02), and 1 Battery Disposal Service per battery (part number WBATTDISP). The justification for sole-source procurement relies on FAR 13.106-1(b)(ii) for a particular brand-name item. The rationale centers on compatibility requirements: the existing power distribution infrastructure in the ADN (Aerospace Defense Network) consists of proprietary PDPM144F modular PDU chassis units with proprietary backplane connections and physical form factors, making circuit breaker modules and power whips from competing manufacturers physically incompatible and unsafe to interface with the APC backplane. Additionally, the batteries constitute direct replacement parts for existing equipment. The document notes that NSWCCO has no current plans to compete future contracts for these supply and service types, though will assess feasibility if alternative sources emerge. The contracting officer is N6426726Q4104 at BNJ for Schneider Electric, with digital signature dated July 24, 2026.

REV 11-2023
FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B) Only one awardee is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly specialized
FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(C) The order must be issued on a sole-source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency because it is a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract, provided that all awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original order. [When utilizing this exception, the rationale shall describe why the relationship between the initial order and the follow-on is logical (e.g., in terms of scope, period of performance, or value).]
FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(D) It is necessary to place an order to satisfy a minimum guarantee.
FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(E) For orders exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, a statute expressly authorizes or requires that the purchase be made from a specified source.
FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(F) In accordance with section 1331 of Public Law 111-240 ( 15 U.S.C.
644(r)), contracting officers may, at their discretion, set aside orders for any of the small business concerns identified in 19.000(a)(3). When setting aside orders for small business concerns, the specific small business program eligibility requirements identified in part 19 apply.
FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(G) For DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard, the order satisfies one of the exceptions permitting the use of other than full and open competition listed in 6.302 ( 10 U.S.C.
3406(c)(5)). The public interest exception shall not be used unless Congress is notified in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(7).
3. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Regulatory Authority.
a.) The Items Described in Paragraph 1 Must Be Compatible In All Aspects
(Form, Fit And Function) With Existing Systems Presently Installed.
b.) A Patent, Copyright, or Proprietary Data Limits Competition.
c.) The Items Described in Paragraph 1
Parts/Components for Existing Equipment.
The existing power infrastructure installed inside the ADN consists of PDPM144F modular PDU chassis units which utilize proprietary backplane connections and physical form factors. Circuit breaker modules and power whips from other manufacturers physically cannot plug into or safely interface with the APC backplane.
