(4) Justification for restricting consideration to a brand-name item:

It is critical to 673 SFS mission accomplishment and success for the new LPR systems to be able to interface with the systems currently installed to provide effective, integrated security and law enforcement base-wide. The current system was acquired through contracts W912CZ-06-C-0018 and FA5000-16-P-0164 which are valued at $360,000.

In order to allow for the installation of a different LPR system, the current system would have to be removed/replaced, and all the personnel in the section would need to be retrained on the new system. This would incur unnecessary high costs for the government. Therefore, it would not be economically practicable or in the best interest of the government to expend extra funds and man hours to acquire a different brand's LPR system.

(5) Contracting Officer's determination that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable:

The determination of the anticipated cost to the Government being fair and reasonable will be conducted in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(a).

(6) Other facts supporting the justification:

None.

(7) Actions the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers to decreasing the use of brand-name items before any subsequent acquisition of the supplies or services:

Market research will continue to provide the best solution to future purchases precluding name brand purchases.

(8) Program Manager's certification that supporting data is accurate and complete:

As evidenced by my signature below, I certify that any supporting data contained herein, which is my responsibility, is both accurate and complete.

(9) Contracting Officer's certification that the justification is accurate and complete:

As evidenced by my signature below, I certify that the justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.

(10) Approving Official's determination that FAR16.505(a)(4)(i) applies to the order:

As evidenced by my signature below, I hereby determine that the use of brand-name restriction applies.
