1.17 Brand Name Justification._Redacted.pdf

This is a Brand Name Justification form (JSA #25-501) for other than full and open competition, submitted by the Naval School Explosive Ordnance Disposal (NSEOD) in Panama City, FL, with Naval Supply Systems Command as the contracting activity. The justification authorizes a firm-fixed price purchase order for Bauer-certified technicians to perform maintenance on two Bauer Unicus III and two Bauer Open Horizontal Air Compressor Systems.

The requirement covers diagnostics and maintenance services from 02/19/2025 to 02/18/2026, with the work to be performed by Bauer-certified technicians. The justification cites that only Bauer-certified technicians are authorized to perform maintenance due to exclusive licensing agreements with the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The procurement request number is 1301205035. While this is not listed as a sole source requirement (marked "No" under "Only One Responsible Source"), it is restricted to Bauer-certified technicians to maintain proper functionality of high-pressure breathing air systems used in EOD training scenarios. The form was approved with a Requirements Cognizance signature on 12/18/2024 and Contracting Officer certification on 01/30/2025.
