Attachment 2- Brand Name Justification Letter.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval for Limited Source - Brand Name (MSA) memorandum from the 368th Training Squadron at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. The document details the procurement of A-GIFP MSA G1 Facepieces in small, medium, and large sizes for the Emergency Management HAZMAT Responder Certification Course, which will train 240 students per year. The masks are specifically required to match HAZMAT training suits and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) packs provided by AFCEC.

The memorandum justifies the sole-source procurement by stating that MSA G1 is the only brand that can meet the 368 TRS Emergency Management schoolhouse requirements. Market research was conducted by the TRR Chief, Resource Advisor, Training Manager, and Emergency Manager Flight Chief. The 368 TRS plans to keep abreast of alternative products in the market and anticipates potential future brand name procurement in their next 5-year planning cycle. The document is signed by the Commander and Contracting Officer, with digital signatures dated 9 July 2025.
