MEMORANDUM FOR MICC-FORT DRUM

SUBJECT: Brand Name Letter for FedBid Buy # 918896

1. The Nexo RS18 subwoofer seamlessly integrates with the 82D ABN DIV BAND’S current line array system. No other brand subwoofers are able to meet our specific technical specifications for components or load casing.

2. The 82D ABN DIV BAND Commander and Music Production NCOIC were consulted to find a subwoofer that matched the current Nexo line array tops in current use.

3. In accordance with AR 200-90 para. 6–1, “Professional, quality musical instruments are required in Army Music units. Contracting offices will procure musical instruments based on the recommendations of the MPU commander, Army Music officer, warrant officer bandmaster, or the MPU senior sergeant (see para 6–1c).

4. For the reasons listed above, the 82D ABN DIV BAND requests that a brand name or particular item(s) purchase of Nexo RS18 subwoofers.

5. If there are any questions, please contact SGT Patrick O’Hara at patrick.g.ohara3.mil@mail.mil or 910-570-1751.
