SSJ- Potable Water Pump - redacted_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Sole Source document for a federal contract opportunity (Purchase Request N0957726PR00019) issued by Carrier Strike Group Four, Requiring Activity, through NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center, Norfolk.

The procurement seeks three (3) new potable water pumps manufactured by Carver Pump required by INSURV and approved by the planning yard (NSWCCD) to complete Boat Alteration 2C for the TSV-4 Narragansett. The pumps are ASTM F Commercial Marine M Series units with specifications including 125in x 1in x 7in size, 1 GPM rated flow, IEEE 5/IEEE 1-rated 3hp 3 RPM motor, 2JP frame with 31 SS shaft, TEFC enclosure, and V/3PH/hz electrical configuration. The required delivery date is November 22 (2022). Pricing and cost for materials are redacted in the document.

The justification for sole source procurement centers on prior engineering approval and system integration constraints. The specified Carver Pump equipment has been reviewed and approved by INSURV and the Planning Yard as part of Boat Alteration 2C for the vessel. Detailed technical drawings, system calculations, and installation configurations have been developed specifically around these pumps, incorporating exact dimensional, mechanical, and performance characteristics unique to this manufacturer and model. The pumps are compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems and represent direct replacement parts for existing equipment. Without acquiring these specific pumps, the vessel would require major ship alterations, significant additional costs, and extended delays, resulting in the fire system being condemned and the ship unable to sail. Carver Pump is identified as the only responsible source capable of meeting all existing technical, operational, and regulatory requirements.
