MEMORANDUM FOR MICC‐Ft Drum

SUBJECT: Brand Name Letter for Magnum MMG45IF4 Mobile Generator FedBid Buy 870671

1. Justification for purchase of Magnum generators: We currently have approximately 60 generators in our fleet, of which 65% are Magnum generators. Our maintenance department has been trained to work on Magnum generators, and they have significant experience with Magnum generator products. We are significantly limited on parts that we can have “On Hand” in our maintenance department, which impedes our abilities to maintain multiple brands of equipment.

In the last 4 years we have purchased 10 Magnum 45KVA generator that are equipped with Isuzu 4LE2XAGV01‐turbocharged diesel engines. These machines have been proven to be both reliable and durable in grueling environmental field testing operations at DPG and we want to purchase proven capabilities now and in the future.

2. I have received quotes from other manufacturers for machines that I would consider to be of like or similar quality and construction of a Magnum generator at significant increase in cost.

3. Due to constraints in our Mobile Maintenance division, I feel that it is in the best interest of the government to continue the purchase of Magnum brand generators for the time being.

4. For the reasons listed above, the Test Support Division requests that a brand name or particular item(s) purchase of Magnum Mobile Generators.

5. If there are any questions, please contact Mr. Adam Riley at (435) 831‐7738.
