-5 each, Custom Sentinel Controlled ProPositioner Package, X Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a sole source or particular brand name (unique features, function of the item, etc.).

Describe in detail why only this suggested source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources.

-Currently S/38 owns the Custom made Pro-Positioner manufactured by Stoneage Inc.

and is proprietary. S/38 needs more of this equipment to support the demands of the water front projects of U.S. Naval Assets which are used to clean shipboard heat exchangers. This equipment is a process improvement and safety item to allow the S/38 mechanics to operate this equipment safely and efficiently.

X The requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the Government.

CHECK & FILL IN ALL APPLICABLE BLANKS BELOW

X The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed. Justi Describe the equipment you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.

These are “direct replacements” parts/components for existing brand name equipment.

X Other information to support a sole-source buy:

-Our goal is to have one standardized set of tooling in use on a project and across the waterfront. If 2 sets of tooling from a different manufacturer were purchased there would be greater costs, more room for error in confusing the different tooling types, safety issues and training. The previously stated reasons standardized tooling and equipment is desirable are:

1. Identical equipment for standardized and codified work practices and procedures.

2. Standardized tooling and work practices ensures that personnel can be utilized in either work site without separate training.

3. One set of tooling / operation simplifies training personnel, less confusion and consistent work practices.

4. Only one operating system for the mechanics to learn and use.

5. Only one arrangement of tooling to set up, take down, and ship.

6. Only one inventory of replacement parts and tools to service the equipment will be necessary.

7. Complete and seamless replacement and swapping of parts from one plant set up to the other on the project in case of after hours breakdown.”

8. No chance of mixing parts up between the two pieces of similar, yet different equipment at set up and installation and then take down and shipment.

I CERTIFY THAT STATEMENTS CHECKED, AND INFORMATION PROVIDED ABOVE, ARE COMPLETE AND CORRECT TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE AND DO NOT CONTAIN CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE PROCESSING OF THIS SOLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION PRECLUDES THE USE OF FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION.
