Brand Name L3Harris Maritime - Power & Energy Solutions Inc - Blanking Plates

This federal document is a Sole Source and Brand Name Justification issued by the NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) in accordance with FAR 12.102(a). The purpose of the justification is to restrict competition to L3 Harris Maritime Power & Energy Solution Inc. (CAGE: 3FEQ2) for the procurement of proprietary blanking plates (Part Numbers 2-4054-1 and 2-4054-2), with a required delivery date of September 30, 2026. These components serve as direct replacement parts for the Navy's existing Accomplish Engineering Plant Temperature Monitoring System. The justification specifies that only L3 Harris can fulfill this requirement because the company owns and controls the proprietary engineering drawings, design specifications, and manufacturing characteristics for these items. Because products from alternative manufacturers will not physically fit or function within the current system assembly, procurement from any other source is precluded. Utilizing an alternative supplier would also introduce costly and time-consuming engineering modifications. Consequently, the contracting activity has certified that L3 Harris is the sole authorized and capable source to provide these critical replacement parts, representing the minimum needs of the government.
