Attachment E - Brand Name or Equal Worksheet.xlsx

This is a Brand Name or Equal Worksheet template designed for the GSA Federal Acquisition Service solicitation 47QMCA26Q0039 for vehicle procurement. The worksheet serves as an appendix for vendors to propose alternative vehicles as "or equal" substitutes to the brand-name specifications listed in the solicitation. The template includes columns for vendors to enter their company name, describe their proposed alternative offering with manufacturer and model information, list the salient features of their proposed vehicle, and receive GSA approval status indicating whether GSA accepts or rejects the proposed equal alternative.

The worksheet is intended to facilitate the evaluation of substitute vehicles for the Department of Homeland Security's procurement of Ford Expeditions (23 units), Chevy Tahoes (20 units), Ford F250s (12 units), and Ford F350s (4 units). The form tracks the solicitation status, revision number, and provides an action index for GSA review and decision-making. This template does not contain specific product requirements, pricing information, delivery dates, or other substantive contractual terms; rather, it functions as an administrative tool to organize vendor submissions requesting approval of equivalent alternative vehicles to those specified in the original solicitation.
