CLIN 0075 IDEAL - Powr-Fish® Pull Line" a Bucket, 210Ib. x 6,500' - 1 each

Acquisition Cost of

(4) Justification for restricting consideration to a brand-name item:

The items are the current electrical industry standard and are the current units used throughout the current Edwards and Nellis compound, and procuring the same product line prevents system learning curves and large additional training costs for schooling of on-site technicians to operate and perform maintenance.

In addition, minimizing different manufacturer procurements prevents the stocking of many different back-up and critical spare parts that is housed on-site. Having “same” system manufacturer on-site allows the technicians to glean system information and operational system symptoms for comparison purposes while troubleshooting.

In general, procuring different manufactured critical equipment/systems is not effective nor efficient in trying to minimize the potential of complications with on-site staffing and being 100% operational.

(5) Contracting Officer's determination that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable:

The Contracting Officer has determined that the anticipated cost to the Government for this acquisition will be fair and reasonable, and the proposal will be evaluated using price analysis for commercial items in accordance with FAR Part 15.404-1(b). The proposed price will be compared any other companies or agencies that may have previously purchased the same or similar items. These items have been determined to be commercial items; therefore, IAW FAR 15.403-4, certified cost and pricing data is not required. However, other than certified cost and pricing data will be requested to aide in the price analysis.

(6) Other facts supporting the justification:

This brand name requirement will be posted on SAM.GOV as a 100% Small Business set-aside and awarded to a vendor who can meet all the requirements of the 75 CLINs. As previously stated, these brand name items are the current electrical industry standard and are the current units used throughout the current Edwards and Nellis compound.

(7) Actions the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers to decreasing the use of brand-name items before any subsequent acquisition of the supplies or services:

The 412 Electronic Warfare Group will continue to monitor the market to determine the existence of other vendors for potential sources that can meet the requirements that supports the existing infrastructure.
