P2. JML Attachment - J&A - Brand Name, Urgency_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a sole-source procurement of a PAMAS SBSS particle counter for the Joint Oil Analysis Program, supporting multiple military platforms and commands within the INDOPACOM region. The procurement is being conducted by the Defense Logistics Agency Maritime Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, with a required delivery date of 7/30/2025 and an urgent acquisition justification based on imminent equipment capability loss. Specifically, the current base maintenance contract for three Beckman Coulter particle counters expires on 4 July 2025, after which the contractor will no longer be able to service and calibrate the instruments, creating a critical mission readiness gap.

The document identifies PAMAS GmbH USA as the sole manufacturer, with ALC Holdings, LLC as the dealer representative, and justifies the sole-source procurement under the "Unusual and Compelling Urgency" exception. The acquisition is critical because the PAMAS SBSS particle counter will provide new capability that cannot be met with current mandatory NAVSEA 04 LQAO user-calibration requirements. Failure to procure the particle counter by the required date will result in service disruption and loss of capability for the Joint Oil Analysis Program, which directly supports mission readiness across multiple military platforms and commands.
