P2. BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION_GLEASON REEL CORP_Redacted.pdf

This is a Memorandum to the File justifying the use of a single source procurement for Gleason Reel Corporation's Heavy Duty Cable Reel. The document details a procurement for a specific cable reel (Manufacturer Part Number SP281002-412-10-F-3) intended to replace existing broken cable reels currently installed on Samsung cranes. The procurement is being conducted under the simplified acquisition threshold and is justified under the "Brand Name" procurement exception.

Key details include the vendor Gleason Reel Corporation, located in Maryville, WI, with a contact phone number of 920-387-4120. The required delivery date is 8/29/25. The justification emphasizes that these specific cable reels provide optimal compatibility for form, fit, and function, and that alternative cable reels would require crane alterations, potentially necessitating a redesign of the shore power cable reel structural support bracket. The procurement aims to maintain standardization of cable reel configurations on the existing Samsung cranes to simplify maintenance work.
