Brand Name Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

Section A: General Contract Information Is this a Bridge Action as defined in the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan? NO Contracting Activity: 1 SOCONS Project/Program Name: Laser Scanner Purchase Request/ Identification Number: F2F2010120AW01 Estimated Contract Cost

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required Mission Essential request for the purchase of Creaform USA’s HandySCAN Black Elite and supporting equipment. Creaform’s HandySCAN provides the technological advancement required to produce close tolerance protye, non-procurable parts and tooling. Currently, the AFREP does not have the capabilities of reverse engineering non-procurable assets. The HandySCAN provides that capability with 3D modeling via blue light technology for precise measurements of the object scanned. The HandySCAN meets the Air Force goals of standardization, interoperability, repeatability, efficiency, networking, and quality control for additive manufacturing. The purchase includes the items listed below.

Quantity of 1, SYS-H3D-EBLAR, HandySCAN BLACK Elite; includes Customer Care Program – 1st year Quanitity of 1, OPC-H3C-ACCOVE – Accident Coverage for HandySCAN – 1 year Quantity of 1, SFT-CRE-VXMIS, VXModel & Vxinspect Scanning software bunde Quantity of 1, TRN-CRE-WEBD, 3.5 days Web training Quantity of 1, LAP-CRE-G5Z17EA, Zbook G5 17” Quantity of 1, ACC-CRE-BAT24V, 24 volt docking system with lithium-ion battery

Section C: Justification for Soliciting for a Particular Brand Name Item The HandySCAN is the only product on the market that meets the Government’s minimum requirements of: laser triangulation system; fast scanning acquisition (1M measurements/sec); weighs 1KG or less; provides 12” by 12” scanning area (minimum);

provides .025 mm or better resolution; provides .05 mm or better accuracy.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition The Navy issued a combined synopsis solicitation for the HandySCAN Black Elite and only received one quote from Creaform U.S.A. when they awarded N0016719P0276. However, according to FPDS-NG other agencies have received competitive quotes for other Creaform products. Additional market research in the open market shows at least two small businesses are authorized resellers of the requested product. Therefore, the requirement will be solicited as a 100% small business set-aside, requiring the specific HandySCAN product requested.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Specific Brand Name Requirements The Air Force will continue to monitor new products and technology as they become available to determine if products other than the HandySCAN Black Elite meet the minimum requirements identified in Section C.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a brand name product is reasonably available.
