SSJ Level and Pressure Sensors_Redacted.pdf

This is a Non-Competitive Procurement Justification Memorandum for Actions Under SAT (Simplified Acquisition Threshold) dated April 27, 2026.

The procurement covers six level sensors and six pressure sensors to replace faltering sensors in the Liquid Waste Feed System (LWFS) located in Code 633 non-oily wastewater laboratory. The required components are Endress + Hauser brand models. The manufacturer is Endress + Hauser AG, with the authorized sales representative being Eastern Controls, Inc., located at 2350 Endress Place, Greenwood, Indiana 46143. The point of contact is Ben Peck (ben.peck@easterncontrols.com, 610-325-4600). Delivery is specified as 15 working days after receipt of order.

The justification for sole source procurement is based on three grounds: restrictive rights (the sensors are proprietary Endress + Hauser brand models necessary to maintain current LWFS functionality and operability), exclusive licensing agreements (Eastern Controls, Inc. is the only regional authorized distributor for Maryland and the only authorized distributor of Endress + Hauser products in the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock area), and other reasons (replacing with updated models of the same brand sensors ensures continued laboratory evaluations and mission success). The contracting officer has approved the sole source procurement, with digital signature authorization dated April 29, 2026.
