MEMORANDUM FOR OC-ALC/PZIMB

FROM: 76 MXSG

SUBJECT: Brand Name Justification for Manlift Valve

• The requested part (Hawe 7-Section Pilot Valve) for the manlift needing repair is a component on an explosion proof piece of equipment. The basic lift starts off as a generic lift and is modified to provide explosion proof features.

• The Manlift to be repaired:

o OC 18587, Model Number: A80EX, Serial Number: A80EX08003, Purchase Date:

28 Aug 08, Cost at Installation: $320,000

• Parts required for repair:

o (2ea) Hawe 7-Section Pilot Valve; Manlift MFG CO Part Number 53166

• The form, fit and function rule applies here because 76 MXSG has existing equipment that requires the Hawe 7-Section Pilot Valve be replaced. The modified valve will be a direct replacement for the part that failed. Installation will be performed by trained technicians on Tinker AFB. If the Government were to have to replace the entire unit it would cost in excess of $320,000.

• Therefore, it is requested that the Hawe 7-Section Pilot Valve be procured for 76

MXSG.
