BRAND NAME SPECIFICATION:

6.103-2 Unusual and compelling urgency.

(a) Authority. 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) or 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(2).

(b) Urgency. Agencies may contract without providing for full and open competition when the agency's need for the supplies or services is of such an unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured, financially or otherwise, unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits bids or proposals.

Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport, Code 15 has a requirement for hazardous material to support fleet at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY).   Any delay in delivery of material will result in non availability of critical platforms.

Based on the above, it is not reasonable to conclude the potential savings from competition can offset the significant duplicative cost and schedule and mission impact associated with purchasing a new brand name product.  Therefore, it is in the best interest of the Government to solicit and award this requirement on a brand name only basis.
