SINGLE SOURCE or BRAND NAME TEMPLATE (For Simplified Acquisitions)

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE SUPPLIES/SERVICES REQUIRED

Procure rebuild/replacement plumbing parts for various plumbing systems that include flush valves, CPVC ball/check valves, pressure switches, drain assemblies/connections, repair clamps, tank fittings, shower valves, brass adapter connectors/fittings.

2. JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLICITING FROM A SINGLE SOURCE

These plumbing parts are required to maintain, replace and sustain water services to critical facilities at AUAB. Brand names such as Sloan, American Standard are the type of valves installed in many facilities, therefore requiring exact replacement brand name parts for their repair. Other brands is not compatible with the current components/connections. The performance kits included in the purchase order are specifically built to address common repairs at the cheapest cost available. By using specific brand names such as NIBCO, Hayward, Temptrol allow us to replace exact items without extensive modifications to existing plumbing systems. In addition, it helps us reduce the number of brands/repetitive items that we have on inventory to a minimum for cost control purposes.

3. EFFORTS TO OBTAIN COMPETITION

The requested brand names are not available locally. However, local vendors can import them at significant higher costs.

4. STEPS TO PRECLUDE FUTURE SINGLE SOURCE AWARDS

379th ECES will continue to research alternative products that meet mission requirements here at

AUAB.
