NSSF VACL Hermetic Compressors Attachment 3_Sole source for redact_Redacted.pdf

This document is an Other Than Full and Open Competition Justification for a sole source procurement of refrigeration system components for Virginia Class submarines. Cospolich Industries, located in Destrehan, Louisiana, is identified as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for specific condensing and pantry units required by the Naval Supply System Command. The procurement involves four specific refrigeration components with unique part numbers: 1) Condensing Unit RUT150-3-PM, QTY 2; 2) Condensing Unit RUT530-3-PM, QTY 2; 3) Condensing Unit RUT270-2-PM, QTY 2; and 4) Pantry Unit Pre-loaded part number R4-2M-SNN-MLRSUB, QTY 2.

The justification indicates that these components are critical for Virginia Class submarines, and Cospolich is the sole source capable of providing these specialized refrigeration systems. The document notes that failure to purchase these hermetic components from the OEM will prevent Naval Submarine Support Facility from accomplishing mandatory repairs and meeting operational commitments. The procurement is valued at $34,058.76 and was awarded on March 11, 2025, under Simplified Acquisition Procedures with the solicitation number N6278925P0012. The document includes approvals from the customer, contracting officer, and one level above the contracting officer, certifying the sole source determination.
