This is a Commercial Only One Source Justification (NTE SAT) filing in accordance with FAR 12.102(a) for NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers (FLC).

The document justifies single-source procurement for seven tank vent valve products from Tate Andale, LLC, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The purchase request numbers cover N62758-6006-E501 through E507, with specific valve models including 52-20V-6IN, 52-20V-5IN, 52-45V-5IN, 52-40V-5IN, 52-40V-4IN, 52-45V2-1/2, and 52-20V-2IN tank vent valves. Tate Andale, LLC is identified as a small business according to NAICS classifications. The justification states that the requested items meet the same form, fit, and function as existing tank overflow and vent pipes already installed and interface with existing FO VENT PPG units that have deteriorated beyond repair. The procurement mandates use of correct TATE TEMCO vent valves as substitutes or similar parts would cause adverse effects to the FO VENT PPG system and structural integrity, potentially leading to unsafe underway operations. Tate Andale LLC is the only approved OEM for these items. The document specifies that similar items from other manufacturers would require a Certificate of Conformance from Tate Andale LLC confirming the valves were manufactured by the OEM or providing artifacts proving OEM origin.
