SOLE SOURCE_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Sole Source Justification form from NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers for a port anchor windlass, pinion low speed clutch assembly. The document identifies JERED LLC as the sole source manufacturer for a specific part (CAGE 98523, P/N: 08001636) with a unique part number for a Figure 7-1-11 reference part. The justification indicates critical requirements that necessitate sole sourcing, including specific form, fit, and function compatibility with existing naval ship systems.

The document highlights several key constraints: JERED LLC possesses proprietary technical information not available to the U.S. government, and the specific clutch assembly is required for direct replacement in a naval anchoring system. A critical operational note states that without this specific part, the ship will be unable to perform anchoring operations within the Indo-Pacific region, potentially posing hazards to the anchoring crew during amphibious operations. The solicitation is associated with contract number N0040625QS209, targeting delivery to Sasebo, Japan, with a solicitation closing date of 23 June 2025 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time.
