Brand Name Justification Western Area Power Administration

FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), Simplified Acquisitions

1. Identification of the agency and the contracting office.

Western Area Power Administration, Rocky Mountain Region Maintenance Department

2. Description of supply or service required to meet the agency’s needs.

Replacement purchases to update Relay and Meter Test Set which can be used interchangeably with existing Relay and Meter test equipment in service throughout Western Area Power Administration’s Rocky Mountain Region for versatility, compatibility and testing expandability.

3. The rationale or circumstances for limiting competition.

This purchase must be made from OMICRON electronics Corp. USA due to compatibility and interchangeability with test equipment currently in use by Meter and Relay (M&R) Technicians throughout RMR. The Omicron Test Universe software compatibility is necessary to ensure current and historical test files can be shared by M&R Technicians using existing relay and meter test equipment.

All other manufactures’ software and hardware is not compatible or interchangeable with the current Meter & Relay testing systems and software test files in use.

4. A description of the Market Research (MR) conducted and the results or a statement of the reason MR was not conducted. Market research was conducted for OMICRON pricing only as other manufacturers cannot be integrated with existing meter/relay test equipment and software in use.

5. Price estimate, including all options, if applicable.

6. Recommended source.

Certification

The information contained in this Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition is certified accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
