I.P-2. JML Attachment - Brand Name_Redacted.pdf

This is a Memorandum to the File documenting the justification for using other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition threshold procurement under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i).

The memorandum justifies awarding (MTO) Adapter Tool Set (Aluminum) consisting of Plug and Receptacle components to Daniel's Manufacturing Corporation (DMC), located in Orlando, Florida. The specific items required are: Plug P/N: CM-S-288 (Quantity: 5 each) and Receptacle P/N: CM-S-288R (Quantity: 5 each), with a required delivery date of August 1, 2026. The contracting officer has determined that sole-source procurement is justified based on brand name requirements. The justification explains that the equipment is essential to support Virginia Class Type II Connector Fabrication work, with technical work documents requiring C950N to utilize these adapter tools for fabricating MIL-DTL-28840 connectors. The memorandum notes that work stoppages and delays would occur without the correct equipment, and that DMC is the manufacturer capable of providing the material at the most affordable price and soonest delivery. Additionally, the justification cites unusual and compelling urgency as a secondary factor supporting the sole-source determination. The document was technically certified on May 13, 2026, and approved by Contracting Officer Angela Morrelli on June 2, 2026, for procurement by Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard.
