Fully Executed BNJ for EVi Scanner and SSB Probes_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Brand Name Justification (BNJ) from the Department of the Air Force Sustainment Center at Tinker Air Force Base for procuring UniWest EVi System components. The 76 AMXG/MXDEN is requesting funds to purchase SSB Series Bolt Hole Eddy Current (BHEC) Probes, EC-S-5 Smart Scanners, and Smart Scanner to EVi cable assemblies, specifically designed for the UniWest Evi System, with UniWest identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

Market research was conducted through Request for Information (RFI) submissions to multiple vendors, including GSA EBUY and NASA SEWP channels. The research found that the best NAICS code for this procurement is 334519, with a small business set-aside recommended. UniWest was contacted and confirmed they are unwilling to sell their proprietary equipment to other distributors. The document emphasizes strict compliance with Technical Order requirements, noting that deviation could result in 100% waste and potential federal criminal charges due to safety implications, particularly if the items are classified as an Aviation Critical Safety Item.
