    SSJ - Techthane_signed_Redacted.pdf
    The document outlines a justification for using other than full and open competition for procuring Techthane T-12, a proprietary formulation necessary for the Virginia Class submarines, produced solely by SII, Inc. This justification references the established proprietary rights and limited production of Techthane T-12, as SII, Inc. only manufactures it under specific orders, with production occurring infrequently due to the need to prioritize another product. The document includes sections for certifications and approvals required under federal regulations, including confirmations of the accuracy of the justification and the authority to approve the procurement process. This streamlined decision underscores the need to secure specialized materials critical for specific military applications while adhering to mandated procurement protocols.
