FAR 13.5 Brand Name Justification Exceeding SAT Redacted.pdf

This document is a Brand Name Justification for a federal contract opportunity. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has a requirement for a Bruker Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization (MALDI) Biotyper Sirius Research Use Only (RUO) System. This is a brand name requirement, meaning the government has determined that only the Bruker product can meet their needs. The government intends to award a firm fixed price commercial contract for this requirement. A solicitation will follow this pre-solicitation notice. Quotes shall be submitted to the contracting activity by the date and time indicated in the request for quote. The contractor's unit price shall include all costs associated with furnishing and delivering the required materials and performing all work.
