43414600-SOLE SOURCE_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Sole Source ($5k-$250k) document for the procurement of HONSA P/N SR93S retainer spring from HONSA TOOLS, with a required delivery date of 01/06/2025. The document references document number 43414600.

The sole source justification explains that these are OEM direct replacement parts for HONSA pneumatic chipping guns stocked by the shipyard tool room. The manufacturer, HONSA, is located at 1300 11th Street West Milan, IL 61264. The justification states that purchasing other brands would incur additional costs for the government, as tool room mechanics have been specifically trained by HONSA for maintenance and repair. Alternative brands would require purchase of different chisels and additional training. The document was signed by a Planner Shop 06 representative on 06-28-24 and processed through DLA Maritime Puget Sound, with the original justification dated 05/21/2018.
