About this file
This is a Justification for Sole Source (Less than SAT) document for a federal procurement by the U.S. Navy.
The procurement is for a Barbee Relief Valve Test Bench Model TP-3000-RV and associated components to replace a non-operational Barbee Hydrostatic Test Stand required for repairs and testing on forward-deployed ships and submarines. The sole source is A Barbee Company, located at 8780 Technology Way, Reno, NV 89521, with point of contact Chris Dowd. The specific items to be procured include: one Barbee Relief Valve Test Bench Model TP-3000-RV (1/2" to 8" flanged valves, manual clamping arms, capable of testing up to 3000 PSI); two 1"FPT X 6"OD stainless steel test plates with 6-piece models; two TP-RV water reclamation systems with catch pans; and five McDaniel stainless steel pressure gauges with varying pressure ratings (0-160#, 0-600#, 0-1000#, 0-1500#, and 0-2000#).
The justification for sole source procurement is based on multiple factors: the equipment's proprietary design specific to Barbee Engineered Testing systems; existing Navy technician training and qualifications on Barbee Hydrostatic equipment; compatibility with current onboard systems for seawater, freshwater, cooling water, and steam system valves; safety requirements for handling lethal pressures (3000 PSI); and the elimination of a 16-month Temporary Alteration (T-ALT) lead time and associated $10,000 engineering fees. The document has been certified by Technical/Requirements Cognizance and approved by the Contracting Officer for single-source solicitation.

JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE (Less than SAT) government.
X The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Describe the equipment/function you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.
A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is
These are “direct replacements” parts/components for existing equipment.
X Other information to support a sole source buy:
The Barbee Test HSC-3,000psi Hose Proof Tester is a highly standardized piece of support equipment within Navy maintenance communities. Utilizing this specific unit provides significant advantages:
Reduced Training Footprint: Navy technicians and operators are already trained on the operating principles, safety protocols, and controls of Barbee Test equipment. Procuring this model eliminates the need to develop new training curricula, preventing operator error when handling lethal pressures
(3,000 PSI).
Safety. All 31E/D technicians are trained and qualified specifically on Barbee Hydrostatic equipment to accomplish inspections, repairs and testing on all valves on-board US Navy Submarines and Surface Ships. The Relief Valve Test Bench is used for pressure testing seawater, cooling water, and potable water valves up to a maximum of 3000 psi for critical US Navy Submarines and Surface Ships systems. The risk of utilizing a different test stand increases the risk of personnel injury and/or equipment failure. Any other test stand will invalidate all current training, qualifications and Standard Operating Procedures utilized on USS Frank Cable. Eliminates the requirement for a Temporary Alteration (T-ALT), avoiding a 16-month lead time and realizing a cost avoidance of $10,000 in engineering fees.
