Work to be performed under construction project P-100/P-099 Nuclear Power Training Facilities, JB Charleston, SC includes the construction of a new Support Systems Complex (SSC) that will provide pure water (DI) production, controlled pure water (CPW) production, compressed air low pressure (ALP) production, and an oily water separation (OWS) system. While the project constructs new systems to provide these services to the ships, they are required to connect to and integrate with existing systems that will not be replaced. This requires fittings that allow the connections to happen without extensive modifications to the existing systems. Exception to full and open competition is under authority of 41 USC 253(c)(1) and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 6.302-1(c) for use of proprietary materials of brand name products peculiar to specific manufacturers, namely Hansen Products (Hansen), and OPW Engineered Systems (OPW). The Government intends to identify this component through specific language in the specifications and on the drawings which will be included as a part of the RFP package for this project. This J&A authorizes and approves the government requirement for a name brand component. 3.DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES/SERVICES. The work under this Construction Contract includes construction of a new berthing pier extension and an SSC to provide necessary utilities to the training ships. The existing systems and the existing ships must connect via hoses to the new systems, which need to have compatible fittings in order to make the distribution system function as designed. Estimated Dollar Value The estimated cost of the proprietary items is approximately $1,954.05. The following proprietary materials will be procured as part of the procured Construction Contract for NPTU, JB Charleston, SC: ITEMDescriptionQuantity Hansen DI Quick Disconnect FittingsHK Series, 1"3 ea CPW Quick Disconnect FittingsHK Series, 1"3 ea ALP Quick Disconnect FittingsST Series, 1"8 ea. ALP Quick Disconnect FittingsST Series, 2"4 ea. OPW OWS Dry Disconnect FittingsEpsilon, 3"3 ea. 4.STATUTORY AUTHORITY PERMITTING OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION. The statutory authority for this acquisition permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), "Only one source or limited sources, as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. Full and open competition need not be provided for when only one responsible source is capable of satisfying agency requirements" and in accordance with FAR 6.302-1. 5.RATIONALE JUSTIFYING USE OF CITED AUTHORITY. The existing DI and CPW hose quick disconnect fittings at the facility are Hansen Quick Disconnect HK series. These components are used for connecting the DI and CPW site distribution systems with the training ships via flexible hoses. The existing OWS dry disconnect couplings at this facility are Epsilon Dry Disconnect Couplings manufactured by OPW Engineering Systems. These components are used for connecting the OWS site distribution systems with the training ships via flexible hoses. The existing ALP hose quick disconnect fittings are Hansen Quick Disconnect ST series connectors. These components are used in the maintenance activities for the training ships. All site hoses used for a specific system must be identical for hose compatibility, procurement, maintenance, and testing reasons. In addition, Norfolk Naval Shipyard performs all maintenance on the ships and the fittings for the site must match the equipment and hoses from the shipyard in order to maintain compatibility with the maintenance equipment used for the ships. Using alternate products would require replacing disconnects on site hoses and valve stations at locations beyond the scope of this project as well as replacing expensive maintenance equipment or purchasing additional equipment to allow critical ship maintenance activities to be performed. This would result in a significant amount of rework and duplicate costs to the Government. Furthermore, an extensive modification to the existing systems would create unnecessary downtime and costs for this these mission critical systems. 6.DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO SOLICIT OFFERS FROM AS MANY OFFERORS AS PRACTICABLE. The proposed action will be synopsized via a Government Point of Entry (GPE) as sole source procurement for proprietary equipment. A sources sought synopsis was not issued as only specific manufacturers (Hansen and OPW) can provide the proprietary products necessary to fulfill these requirements. In accordance with FAR Part 5.102 (a) (6) and FAR Part 6.305, Availability of the Justification (c), the approved justification will be posted with the solicitation. 7.DETERMINATION OF FAIR AND REASONABLE COST. The government estimate has been developed using a quote utilizing historical data, RS Means and the supplier commercial prices. The Contracting Officer has determined that the price for this acquisition is fair and reasonable pursuant to FAR Part 15. 8.ACTIONS TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO FUTURE COMPETITION. This is a one-time procurement action. The total proprietary items will be competitively procured. No actions to remove or overcome barriers to competition are to be conducted by this agency.

This is a one-time procurement action. The total proprietary items will be competitively procured. No actions to remove or overcome barriers to competition are to be conducted by this agency. JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION 1.CONTRACTING ACTIVITY. The agency is the United States Navy; the contracting activity is Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southeast, Jacksonville, FL. The contracting office is the IPT South Central (IPT SC), Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southeast, Naval Air Station, Jacksonville, Florida. 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTION BEING APPROVED. Work to be performed under construction project P-100/P-099 Nuclear Power Training Facilities, JB Charleston, SC includes construction of a new electrical distribution system including new substations and distribution feeders that connect into the existing base-wide distribution system and provide service to the new and existing ships and facilities. Exception to full and open competition is requested under authority of 41 USC 253(c)(1) and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 6.302-1(c) for use of proprietary materials of brand name products peculiar to specific manufacturers, namely Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL). The Government intends to identify this component through specific language in the specifications and on the drawings which will be included as a part of the RFP package for this project. This J&A authorizes and approves the government requirement for a name brand component. 3. DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES/SERVICES. The work under this construction contract includes construction of a new berthing pier extension with two new and one replacement electrical substation as well as a new express feeder route from the Base electrical distribution system along Redbank Road to the site to provide redundant electrical supply to the site in support of the site. The system ties into the base-wide distribution system and must have protection from backfeeding when testing the generators on the site and the power plants on the ships. In order to accomplish this, protection relays are being installed. These protection relays are manufactured by SEL that are considered proprietary items.

STATUTORY AUTHORITY PERMITTING OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), "Only one source or limited sources," as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. 5. RATIONALE JUSTIFYING USE OF CITED AUTHORITY. The NPTU site is a military installation located within an active Department of Defense (DOD) explosive safety arc. It supports military training operations for the U.S. Navy's nuclear propulsion program and other DOD operations. The site will remain operational and occupied by DOD military and civilian personnel during the construction period. It is imperative that the utmost military site security control be maintained at all times, especially during the construction period when there will be access by outside personnel and construction crews. The existing security system at the site is currently based on a proprietary LENEL system that is equipped with Intrepid sensors, PELCO closed circuit television stations, and Endura interface systems. To avoid any actual security gaps or potential security breaches, the integration of new security components into the existing system must be carefully scheduled and monitored by site security personnel to provide for a seamless transition and integration into the existing electronic surveillance system. The installation of any new IDS and ESS components must also be scheduled for installation and testing by trained security personnel. The site security personnel are trained to detect and respond to known technical issues with the existing systems, and are versed in the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) installation procedures to minimize downtime and avoid system crashes. Experience with prior system maintenance has demonstrated that integration of other brand name system components requires additional downtime, which in this instance may result in untenable security compromises inconsistent with the required DOD security requirements for the nuclear site. Other brand names will not meet the agency requirements in this particular instance. The limited proprietary specifications are required to ensure continuity of military operations, enhance the protection of life safety, and maintain the required national security posture of the NPTU nuclear program platform. 6. DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO SOLICIT OFFERS FROM AS MANY OFFERORS AS PRACTICABLE. The proposed action will be synopsized via a Government Point of Entry (GPE) as sole source procurement. A sources sought synopsis was not issued as only specific manufacturers (LENEL, PELCO, and Intrepid) can provide the products necessary to fulfill these requirements. In accordance with FAR Part 5.102 (a) (6) and FAR Part 6.305, Availability of the Justification (c), the approved justification will be posted with the solicitation. 7. DETERMINATION OF FAIR AND REASONABLE COST. The government estimate has been developed using a quote utilizing historical data, RS Means and the supplier commercial prices. The Contracting Officer has determined that the price for this acquisition is fair and reasonable pursuant to FAR Part 15. 8. ACTIONS TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO FUTURE COMPETITION. This is a one-time procurement action. The total proprietary items will be competitively procured. No actions to remove or overcome barriers to competition are to be conducted by this agency.
