Attatchment 3 - Brand Name Justification.pdf

This is a Brand Name Requirement Justification document for a simplified acquisition under $350,000 at Sheppard Air Force Base.

Sheppard Air Force Base Fire Department requires procurement of an updated breathing air system to replace aging inventory and mitigate respiratory failure risks. The specific equipment required is a RevolveAir Fill Station + Base with Standard + Fill Panel, featuring a 6000 PSI cylinder, CGA 6000-25SE valve, color-coded gray 2164 revolve air systems custom collar ring with fittings kit, CGA adapter, PivotAir 4 stage pressure system (6000 PSI/414 BAR at 10 HP), 208-230 volt single phase power, CO monitor with calibration kit, 25-foot supply hose, wall rack accommodating 4-6 cylinders, 4-bank auto cascade plumbing, and MSA G1 cylinder quick connect adapters for 4500/5500 PSI cylinders. The acquisition includes site survey, installation, operation, leak testing, training, and air sample analysis with written report. The justification establishes that RevolveAir Containment Fill Station is the only equipment capable of meeting the Department's critical throughput, safety, and physical footprint requirements. Alternative brands would result in a 33% reduction in cylinder-filling efficiency and compromise standardized safety protocols. The contracting officer determined that only the RevolveAir brand is reasonably available in accordance with FAR 13.101(b). The document was approved by Lauren Scheidegger, PKBB Section Chief, and signed by Contracting Officer Cole Jones and Lt Col Bradford L. Shields, Commander of the 82d Civil Engineer Squadron.
