I.P-2 BrandName_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 purchase.

The acquisition is for SHOPSTORE LSN 5350-HM-CN1-4678, Premium Abrasive Blast Grit (Kleen Blast 16/30 Mesh, iron alumina silicate derived from copper slag), with an 8-week lead time following award. The sole source is KLEENBLAST, a subsidiary of CANAM MINERALS, located at 3747 North Suttle Road, Portland, OR 97217, with dealer representative Mr. Sandman (cage-0BJC0) located in Honolulu, HI. The requirement involves recurring shopstore replenishment documents. The estimated cost is redacted from the document.

The justification for single-source procurement is based on brand name requirements. The memorandum explains that the material is authorized for Naval Ship Repair per local and NAVSEA instructions and inclusion within QPL-22262. Kleen Blast 16/30 mesh blasting media has been used at PHNSY (Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard) and other shipyards for many years with consistently exceeded performance expectations, quality of finish, and man-hours saved. The material is also designated as HAZMAT and is authorized for use on PHNSY's Authorized Use List, which is brand name and manufacturer-specific. Attempting to qualify other products would be prohibitively costly and would jeopardize the shipyard's ability to meet ship work schedules. The technical certification was completed by Yon Park (EQS, PHNSY & IMF) on 04/30/26, and the contracting officer Quincey Dillenback approved the justification on 07/17/2026.
