BNJ UTTR 2.0.pdf

This is a Brand Name Justification document for a simplified acquisition submitted by the Air Force Office of Logistics, Headquarters at Hill Air Force Base, Utah.

The contracting activity seeks to procure one new 2025 ContainGo Gooseneck Mobilizer Trailer Standard equipped with tandem 10,000-lb axles, dual-wheel gooseneck configuration, 25,000-lb gross vehicle weight rating, custom ratchet hook binders, and guide pins. The trailer is required to support the Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR) mission by transporting, loading, unloading, and precisely positioning 20-foot containerized Mobile Command Posts (MCPs) without requiring additional heavy equipment such as front-end loaders, forklifts, or cranes. The system must operate in constrained spaces with limited maneuverability while maintaining safe operations and reducing setup and movement timelines. The document cites FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) as the regulatory basis for brand name justification. The purchase request identification number is F2DTAG6194A001, with the contracting officer being SrA Pedro Herrera, dated August 25, 2026.

The justification establishes that the ContainGo Mobilizer Trailer is the only commercially available product identified capable of meeting UTTR's combined requirements for transportation, self-loading, self-unloading, side-shifting, and precision placement in a single system. Market research evaluated numerous container handling alternatives but found that competing products required additional equipment for loading and positioning. The document commits UTTR to continued market research to identify alternative vendors and products for future procurements to promote competition when operationally feasible.
