P2. JML 50422920 Attachment - J & A - Signed_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Memorandum to the File justifying the use of a single source procurement for a Navy calibration requirement. A.K.O., Inc. will provide a TSD6500-8, 8-channel torque indicator with a required delivery date of 5/1/25. The Navy's calibration procedure (NAVAIR 17-20MU-07) specifically requires this TSD6500 model to calibrate torque wrenches for Fleet customers, which precludes competition and necessitates a brand-name sole source acquisition.

The procurement is being processed under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold with a brand name justification. The technical justification notes that the specific TSD6500 is essential to the Navy's calibration procedure, and market research indicates other products cannot meet the agency's precise requirements. The document includes certification from a Production Shop Planner and approval from the Contracting Officer Angela Morrelli, with signatures dated 2/12/25 and 3/18/25 respectively.
