This document is a Justification for Urgency form for simplified acquisitions between $25,000 and $250,000, referencing FAR 13.106. The document details an urgent procurement for metal powder for a new process at PSNS (Puget Sound Naval Shipyard) Cold Spray department. Selvus Global is the suggested source, located in Worcester, MA and Nashua, NH.

Key details include a Required Delivery Date of 29SEP2025, with the justification citing production work delays due to inability to order powder for 8 main circuit pump shafts. The shipyard needs various powder types for repairs, with an estimated savings of $900K per carrier avail. The procurement involves multiple powder types for different repair needs, including shaft seals and other long-lead repair components. The urgency stems from a new repair technology implementation, with the shipyard noting they have been working on obtaining processes and authorizations to use the metal powder and have a pending production hold for equipment and powder authorization.
