P2. Brand name justification_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Memorandum to the File justifying the use of a single source procurement for a General Electric Company magnetic contactor. The document is specifically a brand name justification for a 3-pole magnetic contactor (NEMA 6, 480VAC, 120V coil) with auxiliary contacts, part number CR305H002. The part is specified in an NCC Approved Crane Alteration Request (N32253-18-008) and aligns with the Westmont crane design, allowing standardization across crane classes. Changing the part number would require additional approval and crane part realignment.

The procurement is for NAVFAC Pacific at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and IMF, with a required delivery date of 6/27/25. The total quoted price from Gexpro is $16,363.72, which includes the GED direct item at $15,659.06 and sales tax of $704.66. The document is signed by Nicole Banash, an Electrical Engineer, on 21 May 25, certifying the technical requirements and justification for the brand-specific procurement under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines.
