SOLE SOURCE _Redacted.pdf

This is a Sole Source Justification Form from NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers documenting a sole source requirement for NSN 5342E502.

The document justifies the procurement of an Eductor, 8" X 6" X 5" Peri-Jet with 250# Navy Flange per MIL-F-20042, Drawing 67-S-125-8, featuring 5" IPS driving water, 6" IPS suction, and 8" IPS discharge. Competition is precluded on the basis of a sole source requirement. The government has determined that the requested material does not represent minimum requirements and has identified multiple justifications for the sole source designation: the engineering drawings and tolerances material specifications and performance are not available to the public and not licensed to other manufacturers; a patent, copyright, or proprietary data limitation exists, specifically noting that DWG 67-S-125-8 is proprietary; and the item constitutes a direct replacement part for existing equipment that performs, fits, and functions with existing components. The document indicates that only one manufacturer source can furnish the eductor to the specifications required by the government.
