SSJ Joystick Control Panel_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Sole Source or Brand Name Acquisition for a replacement General Electric (GE) Joystick Control Panel for a TSV Vindication onboard system. The requirement is for one-for-one replacement parts with a cost estimate of $25,000 or less, and a required delivery date of 30 weeks after contract award. The original manufacturer is Avid Controls, a division of General Electric Company, located at 101 N Campus Dr, Imperial, PA 15126.

The justification emphasizes the complexity and integration of the existing GE Energy system, which contains over 19,000 pages of documentation. The replacement parts must be direct replacements compatible with the current GE system, as switching to another manufacturer would significantly increase costs and potentially disrupt vessel operations. The document is signed by a Logistic Management Specialist from the Carrier Strike Group Four - TSVRON4, with a signature date of 18AUG2025, and will be reviewed by the NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center, Norfolk Contracting Department.
