This brand-name justification covers a three-year IDIQ procurement of OEM filters for NFPC. The OEM filters are needed to ensure maximum reliability and functionality of profiling machines and meet NFPC mission requirements. Issuing separate, brand-specific solicitations would increase administrative procurement costs and cause unacceptable supply-chain delays. A single award would ensure synchronized delivery of all required maintenance components. This synchronization is essential to prevent staggered machinery downtime during Virginia and Columbia Class production.
