Attachment 2 - Brand Name Justification_Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for the 92d Contracting Squadron at Fairchild Air Force Base, detailing a mission-critical requirement for snow and ice removal. The document justifies procuring 25,000 gallons of FreezGard CI PLUS, a specific brand of Magnesium Chloride Liquid Deicer, for operational needs at the base. The procurement is for removing snow and ice from runways, taxiways, parking ramps, and base streets, with the 92d Civil Engineer Squadron requiring a consistent and proven deicer that meets operational, safety, and performance standards.

The justification highlights that FreezGard CI PLUS is the only deicing product meeting the base's specific requirements, based on ten years of historical use, unique chemical composition, and compatibility with existing infrastructure. Market research was conducted to confirm no alternative products could safely replace the current deicer. The estimated contract cost is redacted, with the procurement planned for September 2025. The document also outlines future plans to potentially reduce brand-name dependency by exploring alternative deicers and conducting performance trials through Fairchild AFB's operational channels.
