SOLE SOURCE DOCUMENT-63021350.pdf

This is a Justification for Sole Source procurement document (FAR 13.106-1(b)) for a contract valued between $15,000 and $350,000. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support Puget Sound is procuring replacement pump sleeves for the Reactor Plant Sea Water Cooler Circulating Pump, identified as document number 6302-1350. The sole source is Buffalo Pumps, the original manufacturer, located at 874 Oliver Street, North Tonawanda, NY 14120, with dealer representation through ECI Defense Group/Josh Haney at 970 Progress Center Ave, Lawrenceville, GA 30043, phone (770) 727-6229.

The specific item required is a Shaft Sleeve, PC-8, P/N 8-0234-01, with detail drawing NA1940, to be delivered in February 2002 at an estimated cost of one unit, RDD. The justification establishes that these replacement parts manufactured exclusively by Buffalo Pumps are integral to the proper functioning of the parent component and are the only parts meeting the form, fit, and functional requirements. The sleeves must be compatible with the existing Reactor Plant Sea Water Cooler Circulating Pump system and must fit onto the shaft; Buffalo Pumps owns the proprietary drawings for both the shaft and sleeves. Proprietary data and detailed drawings required for manufacture limit competition. The document was certified by a Material Specialist and approved by the Contracting Officer for DLA Weapons Support Puget Sound on October 16, 2025.
