NSWCCD Sole Source/Brand Name Justification Under SAT Rev 4 Template Effective July 2024
III. BASIS FOR DETERMINATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL & OPEN COMPETITION
A. BRAND NAME:
Item required must be a brand name product, or feature of a product, particular to one manufacturer.
1. Restrictive Rights: The source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights, or secret processes in the item or service required.
2. Exclusive Licensing Agreements: The item or service is only available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
3. Other Reasons:
B. SOLE SOURCE (select all that apply)
1. Restrictive Rights: The source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights, or secret processes in the item or service required.
Techthane T-12 (Part A and Part B) is a proprietary formulation of SII, Inc., which is specifically required by Navy drawings as the base polymer for a material used on VIRGINIA Class submarines.
NSWCCD has been tasked to perform assessment of Techthane T-12 and is limited by its availability since SII, Inc. only makes a batch of the two sides of Techthane T-12 when the shipbuilder orders it. SII, Inc. manufactures two polymers for the Navy, with the other being the bulk of the volume and orders. To make Techthane T-12 the other product must be taken off-line; therefore, SII, Inc. limits its production of Techthane T-12 to once every year or two.
2. Exclusive Licensing Agreements: The item or service is only available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), or there is only one authorized distributor or technical representative for the OEM.
C. LIMITED SOURCE (FAR 8.405-6):
Item required must be a brand name product, or feature of a product, particular to one manufacturer.
1. Restrictive Rights: The source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights, or secret processes in the item or service required.
2. Exclusive Licensing Agreements: The item or service is only available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
