P2. JML 5067A851 - Justification_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition memorandum for a federal procurement action. The document details a sole-source acquisition from TIMKEN - Philadelphia Gear for a specialized bearing (12x12 elliptical, P/N 956E442G09) required for DDG-120, with a required delivery date of 11 April 2024. The procurement is justified under two primary rationales: restrictive rights and exclusive licensing agreements.

Philadelphia Gear Company (now owned by TIMKEN Gears) is identified as the sole manufacturer with proprietary rights to modify MRG journal bearings for a specific class advisory fix. The urgency stems from a bearing damage incident during transportation, where an originally ordered bearing for DDG-118 was utilized for DDG-120 repairs. The procurement is being processed as a payback order, with the requirement first identified on 06 March 2025. The technical certification is provided by Adrian DeLeon, a Mechanical Engineer from PHNSY & IMF, with the document dated 03/12/2025.
