Attachment 2 - Brand Name Justification 1.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a federal contract opportunity.

The 820th RED HORSE Squadron (RHS) is seeking to procure and deliver Dayton Superior brand construction materials for the Combat Support Training Range (CSTR) expansion project at Nellis Air Force Base. The contract is being awarded to a single source under Purchase Request F3GHBA6077A001 with an estimated contract cost that is redacted. The contracting activity is the 99 Contracting Squadron/PKB, and the contracting officer is Erin Lilly, GS-12, DAF, who signed the justification on May 11, 2026.

The justification for sole source procurement is based on Dayton Superior's proprietary forms and systems that are already in use by the 820th RHS. The Air Force determined that Nellis AFB is one of twelve strategically located sites required to develop and operate the larger CSTR, and the 820th RHS currently utilizes Dayton Superior forms that cannot be retrofitted with any other vendor's system. Market research identified at least three small businesses capable of fulfilling the requirement, and SAM.gov will be used to pursue competition. The document indicates that future market research will be conducted for similar requirements to preclude future single source awards and identify alternative manufacturers or brands that meet applicable standards.
