This is a Memorandum for Record from the Department of the Air Force documenting justification for a brand name or equal procurement under Simplified Acquisition Threshold authority. The 763d Specialized Contracting Squadron at Scott Air Force Base seeks to procure four Woodway 4Front Treadmills (Part Number: 4Front, NSN 7830-01-659-9563) or equal equipment for the 21st Special Tactics Squadron at Pope Army Airfield, North Carolina, for use in their Human Performance Training Center. The procurement will support tactical operators requiring repetitive sprinting, running under heavy load carriage, and high-impact physical activity that exceeds standard commercial treadmill capabilities.

The specified equipment must meet defined minimum salient characteristics including commercial-grade construction for high-volume daily use, slat-belt running surface for responsiveness and reduced friction, total unit dimensions not exceeding 76 inches length by 42 inches width, running surface approximately 22 inches wide by 68 inches long, motorized speed capability of at least 15 miles per hour, incline capability of at least 25 percent, support for users up to 400 pounds, extended commercial service life design, standard commercial warranty, capability to support both clinical rehabilitation and high-performance conditioning, and compatibility with 110/120V power supply with dedicated circuit and NEMA 5-20R outlet. The delivery timeline requires contractor delivery within 45 days of award notification. The contracting officer certification confirms that the salient characteristics represent the government's actual minimum needs and anticipated costs will be determined fair and reasonable based on competitive quotes received.
