Quick Summary
This document is a Limited Source Justification issued by the Department of the Navy, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard GF, for the Repair of KAron Coating. It explains the rationale for procuring "KARON COATING TYPE-V" for 4 EA. CENTER BLOCKS PC- from KAMATICS as a sole source, citing "Unusual and Compelling Urgency." This justification was published on May 13, 2026.
Purpose of Justification
The justification details the decision to limit competition for this acquisition, which falls under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The primary reason is that KAMATICS is identified as the proprietary and sole source for the required KARON COATING TYPE-V. The need for this specific coating was discovered during planned restoration work, where existing parts were found to have defects violating drawing requirements.
Scope of Requirement
The requirement involves the procurement and application of KARON COATING TYPE-V for four (4) CENTER BLOCKS PC-. The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard lacks the internal capability to apply this specialized coating.

Timeline & Urgency
