This is a federal contracting justification document for a single-source procurement of specialized marine-grade mattresses. The requiring agency is the USS Paul Hamilton and the contracting activity is Navy Supply System Fleet Logistics Center San Diego. The procurement seeks 352 specialized, marine-grade mattresses for installation aboard the USS Paul Hamilton (DDG-60), with a Procurement Request/Solicitation/Purchase Order Number of R2182260715101.

The mattresses are being procured to support a comprehensive sleep study conducted by COMNAVSURF PAC, designed to evaluate the impact of specific mattress technologies on service member sleep hygiene, cognitive performance, and overall physiological outcomes in maritime operational environments. The primary product specified is the CR SAFGUARD XL (Soft) Dual-Firmness mattress, manufactured exclusively by Chestnut Ridge Foam, Inc. This justification is based on the determination that only one responsible source exists due to exclusive licensing agreements and proprietary composition. The mattress features a specialized, inherently fire-resistant foam core that forms a stable carbon char when exposed to open flame, preventing the mattress from becoming a fuel source. Additionally, it utilizes proprietary pin-cored engineering unique to this manufacturer, enabling necessary pressure relief for critical, geriatric, or specialized operational use without compromising structural integrity or fire resistance. The procurement is restricted to the proprietary CR SAFGUARD XL (Soft) Dual-Firmness mattress to meet Navy Standards, MIL-STD-1623E requirements, and specific ergonomic and safety requirements necessary for high-risk, enclosed maritime environments.
