About this file
This document is a Justification for Brand Name (Simplified Acquisitions) for the US Naval Academy Musical Activities, detailing a specialized audio equipment procurement. The solicitation is for specific audio equipment from three manufacturers: JBL, Shure, and Allen & Heath, with a total equipment cost of $113,574.00. The equipment includes loudspeakers, wireless microphones, audio matrix processors, wireless receivers, mounting accessories, and related components.
The procurement is justified by the need to integrate new equipment into an existing sound reinforcement system, with requirements for compatibility and uniformity. The Navy requires these specific brands and models to ensure proper system performance, citing deficiencies in the current system's audience coverage, frequency response, user control, and aesthetic presentation. The installation is to be completed within 90 days after contract award, with the document signed by Brian P Bowman from US Naval Academy Musical Activities on 17 DEC 2025 and approved by the NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center, Norfolk Contracting Department.

Describe in detail why only this source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources.
(what specific characteristics of the supplies or services limit the availability to a sole source (e.g., unique features, function of the item, etc.)?)
The currently installed sound reinforcement system exhibits deficiencies in audience coverage, frequency response, user control, and aesthetic presentation. The required supplies will be integrating into existing infrastructure. In order to integrate properly, the new equipment needs to be the models specified. This will also ensure uniformity with existing system. These parts are essential for ensuring continued compatibility and performance. By utilizing direct replacements, we ensure that the equipment operates at peak efficiency and reduces the risk of equipment failure.
☒ The supplies or services must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing.
Listed items will be integrated into an existing installation. All new system elements must be from the same brand and product family as the pre-existing elements in order to ensure system operability. Failure to use listed brands will result in unsatisfactory system performance.
There are no identified barriers to competition. The only distinguishing factor is that the listed equipment must be procured from an authorized vendor to ensure manufacturer authenticity.
Document number: 1301303151 I CERTIFY THAT THE INFORMATION PROVIDED ABOVE IS COMPLETE AND ACCURATE TO THE BEST OF
MY KNOWLEDGE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE PROCESSING OF THIS SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION
PRECLUDES THE USE OF FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION.
