The Tork products reference in Sections 090600 and 102800 are required to match other products already in use on the campus so that supplies we purchase will fit them. This is needed to minimize the amount of supplies we stock for our campus.

6. Description of Efforts Made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as deemed practicable: Tork is the only manufacturer of these products. Since the construction contract is being awarded as a firm fixed price contract through competitive sealed bidding, the bidders are incentifized to locate the supplier that will provide the item at the most economical price.

7. Determination by the CO that the Anticipated Cost to the Government will be Fair and Reasonable: The best interests of the government are served through the use of this product.

The pricing will be provided as part of equipment available in the commercial marketplace. The price will be determined to be fair and reasonable to the government based on competition.

Solicitations for future requirements will utilize “brand name or equal” language, if it is in the Government’s best interest to do so. The current requirement must be solicited using a brand name description because the Government needs to create an exact copy of a system/item that is currently in use.
