Attachment 3 - Stinar Brand Name Justification.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the 60th Contracting Squadron. The document details a brand name request for a specialized "A" Frame Assembly for a stair case truck (AF11C00202) manufactured by Stinar LLC. Specifically, Stinar LLC will provide one "A" Frame Assembly, one Valve FlowCntrl On-Off Type I only, and one 6500 Hydraulic Element to facilitate A-frame replacement on a stair case truck.

The justification explains that the stair case truck was manufactured by Stinar LLC for the US Air Force, and after reviewing line needs and system requirements, no alternative component meets the necessary technical and functional standards for safe integration with the boarding staircase truck. The document indicates efforts were made to seek alternatives by reaching out to Newbegin Enterprise and ATAP Inc., who confirmed they would need to coordinate with Stinar LLC to procure the part. The contracting officer has determined that only a single source is reasonably available for this procurement.
