FAR 13 Brand Name Justification (redacted).pdf

This document is a FAR 13 Brand Name Justification for a pre-solicitation notice from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL), Diagnostics and Biologics (D&B), Center for Veterinary Biologics (CVB), Policy, Evaluation, and Licensing (PEL) Unit.

The agency has a requirement for poultry isolation units, specifically the Plas-Labs Inc. manufacturer item number FIC-30-2/PIU/SP, including non-catalog components consisting of a deeper waste pan that requires new tooling, increased height of escape shield, larger feeder trough, and the wall mounted perching device. This is a brand name requirement, and the government intends to award a firm fixed price purchase order. After the solicitation is released, it will be available at www.sam.gov, and contractors must submit quotes by the date and time indicated in the request for quote.
