Attachment 6 _ Brand Name or Equal Justification and Approval_signed_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification for a Simplified Acquisition for the 43 AMOG Door Repair project at Fort Bragg. The contract involves modifying, painting, and repairing 20 doors across three buildings (289, 347, and 753), requiring installation of BEST LOCK 7-pin core compatible locks. The total estimated contract cost is redacted, with the purchase request number F3M0FM5223A002 under Contracting Activity 763 ESS/PKS.

Market research conducted by the Directorate of Public Works (DPW) indicates that only BEST locks can fulfill the lock core replacement requirements due to current configurations at Fort Bragg. The justification emphasizes that introducing a non-compatible locking system would undermine standardization and require replacing existing lock cylinders, cores, keys, and related hardware, which would create significant compatibility issues and substantial procurement and labor costs. The contracting officer has determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that only a single source is reasonably available, with the document signed on 03-Sep-2025.
