FAR 13 Single Source or Brand Name Justification Less Than SAT Hammermill Paper_Redacted.pdf

This document provides justification for a single source or brand name procurement under solicitation number 1232SA23Q0083 from the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service for Hammermill paper. The justification cites Hammermill paper as the only product that meets requirements for composition, weight, brightness, and recycling characteristics for use in various agency publications and reports. A brand name sole source award is recommended to Hammermill due to lack of available substitutes and the extensive qualifications testing required to use alternatives that could impact publication timelines. The period of performance and total contract value were redacted from the file.
