Single Source Justification_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Use of Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A), Form 1018, for the SERMC and NAVSUP FCJ agencies. The procurement involves the purchase of Jesse Pipe Bender Machine Attachments from an exclusive licensing agreement with Jesse Co. The estimated dollar value is $0.00 across all categories (OM&N, O/PN, and RDT&E), indicating this is a justification document for competition restrictions rather than an active procurement with assigned funding.

The justification identifies a single responsible source based on restrictive proprietary rights. SERMC currently operates a Jesse Co. model 1006 pipe bender tooling machine with parts that only fit the design of this previously installed machine. The document establishes that Jesse Co. possesses proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, and copyright protections in the item or service. Only Jesse Co. tooling design will fit the existing machine, optimize usage, streamline training, and prevent compatibility issues. Exclusive licensing agreements with Jesse Co. are documented under letter dated 27 APR 2025. The required delivery period spans from 07/01/2020 to 07/01/2020. No exclusive licensing agreements, unusual and compelling urgency, or brand name requirements are otherwise applicable. The justification received technical, requirements, and legal sufficiency certifications with a contracting officer signature dated 05/5/20, establishing the basis for proceeding with a non-competitive procurement action.
