The document serves as a Brand Name Justification for procuring CPV valves by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD). The action entails awarding a firm fixed price contract for specific items necessary for laboratory operations, which include various types of valves requiring Certificates of Compliance.
