Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

FLIR Commercial System's antenna position-er is the only position-er found that provides the functionality required to property employ the fully assembled system. Other systems do not correctly integrate. Failure to continue with standardization of these systems will have significant long term impacts to strategic goals for reductions of operational parts, spare provisioning costs and increased integration costs for non-standardized diesel engine assembly kits. Procurement of brand name equipment is essential to the Government's requirements, thereby precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

The FLIR antenna parts are available from multiple vendors. Soliciting the requirement with the brand name justification will be able to provide enough competition to provide the antenna parts at a fair and reasonable cost.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

The user and contracting agency will continue to survey the market place to locate any new prospective contractors that are responsible sources and are able to compete on future acquisitions.
