About this file
This is a Brand Name Justification for a single-source procurement under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 8.405-6, issued by the Department of Commerce's NOAA Acquisition and Grants Office (AGO) and Marine Operations Acquisition Branch for contract number 140808-26-0008.
The procurement covers the purchase of three specialized test kits for the new Gulfstream 550 aircraft, with a total of one unit each: (1) Barfield DFQ40K Fuel Quantity Test Set (PN: 101-01501), designed for AC capacitance-based fuel quantity indicating systems with microprocessor-based controls, auto-ranging measurements, and Distance To Fault capabilities; (2) Barfield Cable Interface for Fuel Quantity Test Set (PN: 101-01536), an interface cable manufactured specifically by Barfield Inc. for G550 aircraft integration; and (3) Barfield DPS1000 Digital Pitot Static Test Set (PN: 101-01175) with specifications for altitude measurement from -1,800 to 55,000 feet, airspeed measurement from 5 to 650 knots, and comprehensive static and pitot pressure capabilities. The contracting officer has justified the single-source limitation to Barfield, Inc. based on compatibility requirements with existing systems, as AOC currently utilizes similar Barfield test kits for its GIV Aircraft fleet to ensure consistency in training, maintenance, and overall support. Market research conducted by AOC Technical Engineers reviewed recommendations from aircraft manufacturers and evaluated various options from different brands before determining that Barfield's products were the minimum necessary to meet government needs.
