About this file
This document is a Justification for Sole Source procurement for a specific pressure-sensitive tape from 3M™. The tape is a white, 2-inch wide by 60-yard long product with exceptional temperature resistance ranging from -65°F to 450°F, designed for use in hot work areas at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (PSNS). The tape features a silicone adhesive with high adhesion strength, including 38 oz./in. width adhesion to steel, 146 lbs./in. width tensile strength, and unique characteristics that make it the only approved tape for specific hot work applications.
The document details the manufacturer (3M™) and its authorized dealer (PLUSSTAR, INC.), with contact information for both. The justification emphasizes the tape's proprietary design, highlighting its ability to withstand intermittent temperatures up to 550°F, its abrasion-resistant backing, and specific technical specifications. The sole source justification is based on the tape's unique properties, which cannot be substituted without prior approval from the C/106 department, making it a critical, specialized product for the government's specific operational requirements.
