Attachment 3 - Brand Name JA MWR Equipment_Redacted.pdf

This is a Contracting Officer's Determination Memorandum for a sole source procurement under the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT). The determination justifies a brand name purchase for supplies required per customer drawings that will be used in the production of Force Provider MWR add-on modules. The estimated dollar value is redacted.

The justification bases the sole source award on market research demonstrating that other brand names cannot meet or cannot be modified to meet the Government's requirements due to a specific pack plan configuration. The supplier has a standardized pack plan that utilizes every space within containers, and using alternative products with different packing dimensions would necessitate re-configuration of units, result in changes to Technical Data Pack (TDP) drawings, and impose unplanned government expenditures for document editing and research of new configurations. The required brand name items include specialized equipment such as MacGregor leg guards, baseball gloves, catchers masks, Rawlings chest protectors, Hasboro Nerf footballs, Easton and Stiga sporting goods, Champion sit up boards, Bison Outdoor basketball pole padding, Boflex mats, Sharp and Panasonic audio/visual equipment, and Anchor Audio sound systems, with specified part numbers and quantities for a one-time purchase. The customer signature section certifies that the information provided is true and accurate to the best of knowledge at the time of submission.
