Attachment 1 Brand Name Justification.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for Detachment 2, 6th Combat Training Squadron (6 CTS). The procurement involves engine replacement components for three Polaris MRZR vehicles experiencing catastrophic failures. Polaris Government and Defense is identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with proprietary technical data and specialized tooling necessary for proper diagnosis, repair, and component matching.

The procurement is structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS 336310 and FSC 2590, with a Purchase Request/Local ID Number of F3G5FA5157A001. The justification emphasizes that using non-OEM engines could compromise mission-critical MRZR operations by potentially reducing engine lifespan, reliability, and operational efficiency. The document indicates future market research will be conducted to determine if alternative manufacturers can meet Department of Defense standards, with the goal of potentially increasing competition and reducing costs in subsequent procurements.
