SUBJECT: Sole Source Justification for AAS Request 173450009

1. Goulds Pumps is the original equipment manufacturer for the existing sump pumps in the chrome facility at Military Factory 100.

2. This item, sump pump with motor, is a replacement for the sump/motor currently in the chrome plate facility. It is an integral part of the chrome facility for the discharge of hazardous chemicals. This pump is sized and lined specifically for that purpose.

3. This pump/motor must meet the original equipment specifications, which the original equipment manufacturer, Goulds Pumps, has proprietary rights. Failure to meet the original specifications will cause the sump to not function correctly and also not fit properly. It might also require some electrical modifications.

4. Purchasing this item from the original equipment manufacturer distributor, Emmerick

Associates, will ensure compatibility, proper fit and function and will not require modification to the electrical systems..

5. The POC for this action is the undersigned on extension 4174
