In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order and the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original order was not previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures (FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C)); or

Items peculiar to one manufacturer. An item peculiar to one manufacturer can be a particular brand name, product, or a feature of a product, peculiar to one manufacturer).

A brand name item, whether available on one or more schedule contracts, is an item peculiar to one manufacturer (FAR 8.405-6(b)).

Rational/explanation to support cited authority:

Honeywell controls and maintains all Honeywell equipment/systems and does not license non-compa y technicians to perform services on Honeywell equipment. This was confirmed by VA ntract preparing a similar requirement who contacted Honeywell and inquired if the company had any authorized dealers that can provide the service. Honeywell provided official notice that they do not allow outside entities to repair or provide routine maintenance to their systems.

Note that this determination satisfies the requirements of FAR 8.405-6. The requirement to prepare a written justification IAW FAR 6.303 does not apply to Federal Supply Schedules.
