About this file
This document is a Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provision detailing brand name or equal requirements for federal procurement. The provision outlines specific criteria for offerors proposing alternative products to a brand name specification, requiring vendors to: 1) meet specified salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics, 2) clearly identify the proposed item by brand, make, or model number, 3) include descriptive literature or illustrations, and 4) describe any planned modifications to meet solicitation requirements.
The related federal contract opportunity is a Request for Quote (RFQ) issued by the Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command for borescopes, with a quote submission deadline of 25 September 2025 at 1:00 p.m. CST. Contractors must email technical specifications, proposed delivery timelines, and a completed (signed) Page 2 of the RFQ or equivalent document to caden.trujillo@us.af.mil and trevor.finch.1@us.af.mil. The evaluation will be based on best value to the government, considering technical acceptability, price, and period of performance.
