FAR Part 6 Justification and Approval for Other than Full and Open Competition

1. Contracting Activity: 145th Airlift Wing MSG/MSC

2. Description of Action: 145th Civil Engineer Squadron requests the inclusion of all brand names listed in “Exhibit A: Base Standard Finishes” for the 145th AW Construct Security Forces Building at the 145th Airlift Wing located in Charlotte, NC. The Government projects award for 2026 and fiscal year 2025 Military Construction funds will be used.

3. Description of Supplies/Services: The items required to be brand name are base standard finishes for various applications on the 145th Airlift Wing, to include paint, ceramic tile, acoustical ceiling tile, carpet tile, vinyl composite tile, plastic laminate products, rubber coved base, transition strips, corner guards, face brick, and split face concrete masonry unit block.

Total Value: $110,000

Authority Cited: 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by RFO FAR 6.103-1(d) – Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

4. Reason for Authority Cited: As described at RFO FAR 6.103-1(b), Agencies may contract without providing for full and open competition when the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. For DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard, this authority extends to situations where only a limited number of responsible sources can satisfy agency requirements. As further described in RFO FAR 6.103-1(d), Application for brand-name descriptions. Except as authorized at 6.103-5, use of brand-name descriptions, or specification of attributes peculiar to one manufacturer, prevents full and open competition and should only be used when justified and approved according to 6.104. This does not apply to “brand name or equal” descriptions as they provide for full and open competition.

5.

The 145th Airlift Wing currently employs base standards for interior and exterior finishes to reduce cost for maintenance and repair to existing facilities. To install another manufacturer's interior and exterior finishes would require substantial duplication of cost to the Government not expected to be recovered through competition. Using another manufacturer's finishes, paint for example, will not match existing and would require the Government to purchase and keep additional stock.

This significantly increases maintenance costs with each change in manufacturer. In addition, unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements would result.

The 145th Airlift Wing currently has 36 facilities that employ the finishes described in Exhibit A. To convert the entire installation to new finishes would cost an estimated $3M initial cost, and $5M in recurring maintenance cost over the expected life cycle of each facility.
