Brand Name Justification_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Brand Name Justification form from the Department of the Air Force's Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex, dated 3 April 2025, requesting the purchase of two Pendulum CNT-91R Frequency Counters. The 76 MXSG unit requires these specific frequency counters for calibration purposes across multiple inventory items, as their current inventory is aging and the CNT-91R is recommended by AFMETCAL as a replacement for existing Fluke 668 test equipment.

The document details an extensive market research process conducted in accordance with DAFMAN 17-1203, which involved issuing solicitations to multiple vendors including GSA Advantage, NASA SEWP, and conducting direct market research. The procurement is planned as a small business set-aside, with the justification noting that several Small Business Set-Aside businesses are capable of providing the Pendulum CNT-91R Frequency Counter. The specific brand name is deemed necessary due to compatibility requirements with existing Portable Automated Test Equipment Calibrator software and direct equipment calibration needs.
