Other / Unclassified

This document is a "Commercial Only One Source Justification" (IAW RFO 12.102(a)) for the NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers (FLC).

It details the requirement to inspect and recondition two HUBTEX brand Multidirectional Side Loader (MSL) drive units and to provide spare parts.

This justification explains why the requirement is restricted to a single source, Hubtex North America, Inc. The rationale provided is that Hubtex holds the proprietary technical data, internal specifications, and specialized tooling necessary to ensure the drive units meet exact form, fit, and function requirements. Acquiring these from a non-OEM source would introduce significant technical risk, and the government does not possess the necessary Technical Data Package (TDP) to compete the effort. Reverse-engineering or qualifying a new source would cause unacceptable delays. The work must also be performed at an OEM-authorized repair facility.

Key details include:

• Purchase Request Number: 20260002526
• Description of Supply/Service: Inspect and recondition HUBTEX MSL drive units and provide spare parts.
• Manufacturer: Hubtex North America, Inc.
• Basis for Restriction: Proprietary data, specialized tooling, risk of system failure with non-OEM parts, lack of TDP, and potential for unacceptable delays.
