Brand Name Justification- PR15804727.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (SSJ) for a federal procurement action by the Department of State for the Overseas Post in Erbil, Iraq, submitted by the Office of the Procurement Executive.

The contracting activity seeks approval to procure spare parts for gate systems at the facility on a single-source basis from multiple brand-name manufacturers: DataLogic, BALDOR.RELIANCE, HYSECURITY, Allen Bradley, Schneider, MEANWELL, and AIMS Power. The Facility Management requiring activity requires these brand-specific components including barcode scanners and sensors (DataLogic), motors and drive components (BALDOR.RELIANCE), gate operators and hydraulic components (HYSECURITY), programmable logic controllers and relays (Allen Bradley), contractors and circuit breakers (Schneider), power supplies and converters (MEANWELL), and inverters and power management systems (AIMS Power). The justification establishes that these components are necessary for maintenance, repair, and continued operation of the integrated gate systems that control personnel, vehicle, and asset access within the facility. The Contracting Officer has determined only one source is reasonably available based on brand-name and compatibility with existing equipment requirements, citing FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) as statutory authority. The justification emphasizes that using non-brand-specific parts would compromise system integrity, reliability, and compliance with safety and security standards. The Contracting Officer reviewed pricing and determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable. The document was certified by Cameron Schow, Facility Manager, and Cassandra Divjak, Contracting Officer at the U.S. Consulate General Erbil, on February 10, 2026.
