Attachment 2 - Brand Name Justification.pdf

This document is an attachment providing brand name justification related to the federal contract opportunity solicitation number 80KSC023Q0009 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Kennedy Space Center for compressed gas trailer parts. The solicitation seeks brand name or equal compressed gas trailer parts including valves, regulators, hoses, fittings and manifolds required to maintain gas trailers used for transporting gaseous oxygen and nitrogen. Responses are due by April 15, 2023 and the contract is expected to be awarded by May 30, 2023. The justification attachment provides the rationale for specifying particular brand name parts due to issues of standardization, safety and interchangeability requirements for the agency's gas trailer fleet.
