MEMORANDUM FOR AFSC/PZIMB

FROM: 76 MXSG

SUBJECT: Raised Floor – Brand Name Justification

1. 76 MXSG is requesting the brand name purchase of floor tile to enable tile interchangeability between building that are currently under construction by MXSG, projects 15S011 and 16S006/7.

2. Changing to another brand of raised floor tile would require test and evaluation of new brand and the loss of tile interchangeability. 76 MXSG is in the process of constructing buildings that require the use of the requested Tate Concore raised floors; 15S011 and 16S006/7. Project 15S011 will have Tate Concore installed, procured on contract FA8126-16-M-0167. All items procured on FA8126-16-M-0167 for 15S011 will be interchangeable with 16S006/7. The interchangeable items are: Tate Concore Tile, Tate GrateAire Perforated Tile, Heavy Duty Stringers, Field Pedestals, Perimeter Pedestals, and Stringer Screws.

3. While performing market research it was discovered that while the understructure is similar, they are different enough to not allow for a different brand to work in existing grids.

4. We will continue market research to find other brands that will work with Tate ConCore CCN1250 Raised Floor System.

5. For any questions or concerns, please contact Phil Paxton at (405)739-5430 or phillip.paxton@us.af.mil
