Specifications shall employ applicable Federal Specifications and industry standards in preference to trade and brand names. Include the publication date of the reference standard in accordance with Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR). When brand name descriptions are required, the specifications must clearly identify the particular physical, functional or other characteristics of the item, which is essential to satisfying the requirement. Provide written sole source justifications when the supply of an item is limited to a single manufacturer. These justifications must be acceptable to the CO to adequately describe the reasons for the sole source justification as required by the Federal Acquisition Regulation governing sole source justifications. Tailor each guide specification used in the preparation of project specifications to fit the requirements of the project.
Where numbers, symbols, words, phrases, clauses, or sentences are enclosed in brackets [ ], a choice or modification must be made; exercise care in making the choice or modification. Where blank spaces are provided for the insertion of data or text, insert the appropriate material.
