DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE

AIR EDUCATION AND TRAINING COMMAND

18 April 2023

MEMORANDUM FOR 82 CONS/LGCA

FROM: 359 TRS DET 1/CC

SUBJECT: Brand Name Requirement Justification

1. The Keyence Digital Microscope (Part Number VHX-970FN) is requested for use in the 2A732 Nondestructive Inspection (NDI) Course. This specialized tooling is used for image capture and analysis of metallurgical samples.

2. Justification for soliciting from a brand name: This unit provides four key functions (stereoscopic, metallurgical, scanning electron, and measurement) in a single unit with interface options that are compatible with existing equipment/software. In addition, this unit includes a 1TB integrated hard drive and does not require an external computer.

3. Efforts to Obtain Competition: Similar products are available. However, the products available do not provide the integrated four system functionality/compatibility of this unit.

4. Steps to preclude future single source awards: All Air Force approved sources will continue to be researched in the future to meet the needs of our students and the needs of the career field.

5. Other Factors: None.

6. Commander’s Determination: The above justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. I have determined that the circumstances of this purchase deem only a brand name product is acceptable.
