I.P-2.2 Brand Name Justification EB 19-87-3222MOD5-Signed.pdf

This is a Memorandum to File documenting the justification for using other than full and open competition for a single-source acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold.

The acquisition is for an Outboard Molded Plug Assembly, 90 Degree (Anode) per IAW NAVSEA Drawing 5792287 Assembly 502 (Mod 5), with modifications in accordance with NAVSEA Drawing 415-7285181 (H535-0510). The cable length of the completed assembly must be 150 feet minimum, with Part Number 1150896-114 and EBPN 19-87-3222MOD5. The estimated cost is $190,000 with a required delivery date of September 30, 2026. The sole source for procurement is identified as Teledyne or Seacon Brantner.

The justification for single-source procurement is based on brand name requirement (Part B, selected). The document states that Teledyne D.G. O'Brien (ICCP S/A 5004D SAR vendor 17476) and Seacon Brantner (ICCP S/A 5004D SAR vendor 24727) are approved and qualified vendors with a history of providing quality products to the requesting activity (PHNSY). The contracting officer's determination emphasizes that procuring from other vendors risks receiving material in unusable condition due to potential manufacturing discrepancies including poor molding, air bubbles, debonding, incorrect pin sizing, missing shield termination, and improper female pin keyway configuration. The technical certification was completed by Lareina Gandeza (Lead EQS, PHNSY & IMF) on February 2, 2026, with contracting approval pending from Wongduewan Guajardo.
