About this file
This is a Brand Name/Sole Source Justification document for a video production equipment procurement by NSWC Corona, C103. The justification is based on FAR 13.106-1(b)(ii) for particular brand-name items and cites compatibility requirements with existing systems as the primary rationale.
The procurement includes 37 line items of specialized video and audio production equipment totaling quantities across multiple units. Key equipment categories include: imaging equipment (Nikon Z 14-24mm lens, camera harness, lens caps, memory cards, and card readers); cinema lenses (DZOFilm Thypoch 5-lens kit with adapters); lighting systems (SmallRig RC 220B Pro LED monolights and parabolic softboxes); support equipment (DJI RS 5 gimbal stabilizer, articulating arms, rod systems, baseplates); wireless video transmission (Hollyland Pyro S 4K system); audio equipment (TASCAM FR-AV2 portable recorder, Sennheiser wireless lavalier and shotgun microphone systems, timecode generators, boom pole holders, Zoom LiveTrak mixer); backgrounds (Savage muslin); and storage solutions (Pelican cases with organizers). The government stated that these items support the capability to produce video documentation for command events and operations worldwide, with the purchases enabling two simultaneous interview teams in different locations with matching equipment setups. The justification emphasizes that all supplies are compatible with each other and have been procured from the same manufacturers for years, and that procuring alternative brands would result in incompatibility issues. No future competition is currently planned unless another potential source emerges.

X FAR 13.106-1(b)(ii) Particular brand-name item
GSA
FAR 8.405-6(a)(i)(1)(A) An urgent and compelling need exists
FAR 8.405-6(a)(i)(1)(B) Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized
FAR 8.405-6(a)(i)(1)(C) In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order provided that the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures (the original order or BPA must not have been previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures).
FAR 8.405-6 (b) Items peculiar to one manufacturer (brand-name item) ID/IQ Task Order/Delivery Order (e.g. NASA SEWP or ARMY CHESS)
FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(A) The agency need for the supplies or services is so urgent that providing a fair opportunity would result in unacceptable delays.
FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B) Only one awardee is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly specialized
FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(C) The order must be issued on a sole-source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency because it is a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract, provided that all awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original order. [When utilizing this exception, the rationale shall describe why the relationship between the initial order and the follow-on is logical (e.g., in terms of scope, period of performance, or value).]
FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(D) It is necessary to place an order to satisfy a minimum guarantee.
FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(E) For orders exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, a statute expressly authorizes or requires that the purchase be made from a specified source.

3. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Regulatory Authority.
a.) The Items Described in Paragraph 1 Must Be Compatible In All Aspects (Form, Fit And Function) With Existing Systems Presently Installed.
b.) A Patent, Copyright, or Proprietary Data Limits Competition.
c.) The Items Described in Paragraph 1 are “Direct Replacements” Parts/Components for Existing Equipment.
d.) Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Supported By A Case Letter.
e.) Unusual and Compelling Urgency.
f.) Other: If required, discuss any other rationale that supports the use of a brand name/sole source for this effort.
4. Implication of Procuring Another Brand/Manufacturer.
We currently have one full set up for interview and partial of another. These purchases would allow for us to go out with 2 different interviews at one time in different locations with the gear that is needed to get the interview or b-roll needed.
We are updating key lights, audio systems, lenses, and completing second rig set up so if each videographer has a matching gear set up for multiple interview packages.
Audio is one of the most important aspects of getting the message across. This audio capture in more professional and will help with cutting down noise and better tones for the message to be clear when we are recording in studio or out on the field.
