Sole Source Justification Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Sole Source procurement document for supplies under simplified procedures for purchases of $1 million to $10 million.

The procurement seeks six two-hundred-volt actuator rotary harmonic drives from Flow International Corporation (Original Manufacturer) under CAGE Code 1DJA5. These components are required for repairs to a water jet system, with delivery required within 30 days after receipt of order (ARO). Flow International Corporation is identified as the sole original manufacturer capable of producing the requested parts, which must be sourced directly from the OEM for the higher assembly. The justification cites three primary factors supporting the sole source determination: compatibility requirements with existing Flow Jet equipment (parts must be properly fitted to prevent operational hindrance), patent and proprietary data limitations that restrict competition exclusively to Flow International Corporation, and the nature of these components as direct replacement parts for currently installed drives in the organization's work center. The document certifies that processing this sole source justification precludes use of full and open competition. The Contracting Officer, FRECH.JOSEPHLAWR from NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk Contracting Department (Fleet Directorate), executed the determination on August 3, 2026, confirming that the circumstances justifying only one source are reasonably available under the contract action.
