    The document outlines the Justification and Approval (J&A) for the Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command (MSC) to contract the overhaul of CRANE ChemPharma sea valves for the USNS WILLIAM MCLEAN (T-AKE 12) using a non-competitive procurement approach. The primary rationale for this decision is that CRANE ChemPharma, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), possesses the exclusive technical knowledge and required components to ensure vessel operational readiness during an upcoming maintenance availability. The legal basis for this contracting action cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which allows for brand name requirements when no alternatives can fulfill agency needs. The MSC determined that utilizing only authorized distributors of CRANE ChemPharma will adhere to federal procurement regulations and maintain safety standards mandated by organizations like the United States Coast Guard. No competitive bid process was initiated due to historical data confirming the existence of capable authorized distributors. The MSC plans to publish a combined solicitation notice to formalize this action while affirming that no future opportunities for non-OEM parts are being pursued. Overall, the J&A emphasizes the critical nature of these components for the ship's propulsion and safety systems while ensuring compliance with federal guidelines.
