This is a Brand Name Justification document for a sole source procurement by the Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) located in Panama City, Florida.

The procurement seeks to acquire Hydraulic International brand electric booster pumps via Purchase Order using simplified acquisition procedures, with a total estimated value not exceeding $350,000. Two specific items are required: Electric Driven Booster Pump models HIHPG2-21388-1-B and HIHPG2-21388-1-C, each with a quantity of one unit. These pumps are used for Air Booster Pump Assembly (ABPA) systems that charge cylinders with Grade D air in Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) applications. The justification establishes that Hydraulics International is the sole source capable of meeting the Government's requirements because only their original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts can be used as replacements without introducing parameters that could be harmful to proper equipment operation or endanger Navy and Marine Corps personnel. The contracting officer has determined this acquisition represents the best value and lowest overall cost alternative to meet the Government's needs. No market research was conducted, as Hydraulics International is identified as the only brand of pumps meeting the stated requirements. Competition is limited to authorized distributors and resellers of Hydraulics International brand products.
