This is a Brand Name Justification document from the Naval Sea Systems Command for a fixed-price purchase order to acquire 80 ITT Endine brand shock isolators (Part Number WR2860008S) for a DUDE Task project. The contract is for shock isolators to protect equipment and structures by reducing force and vibration transmission, thereby improving equipment longevity, performance, and safety. The total acquisition will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures with a dollar value not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000.00.

The document explicitly states that ITT Endine is the only brand of shock isolators that can meet the Government's specific requirements for the DUDE TASK system design. The justification highlights that alternative shock isolators would require costly engineering modifications, potentially causing increased shock transmission and system damage. The Contracting Officer has determined this order represents the best value, considering alternative pricing, administrative costs, and engineering expenses to meet the Government's needs.
