Honey Bucket Brand Name Justification_Redacted.pdf

This is a Brand Name Justification document for a simplified acquisition submitted by the 75th Air Base Wing at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. The contracting activity seeks comprehensive portable sanitation services for the 2026 Warriors Over the Wasatch Airshow, scheduled for June 26-28, 2026. The contractor will be responsible for supplying, delivering, installing, and maintaining standard and ADA-compliant portable toilets, hand-wash stations, 250-gallon holding tanks, and baby-changing stations. Services include initial placement per government site plan, daily servicing such as pumping and waste removal, cleaning, restocking, and on-call emergency services. The performance period begins with delivery and staging 1-2 days prior to the event, continues throughout the two-day airshow, and concludes with complete removal of all units and waste within 24 hours of the event's end. The contractor must ensure compliance with federal, state, and local waste disposal regulations and meet all base access and security requirements.

The government has justified a brand-name requirement for Honey Bucket as the designated sanitation services contractor based on market research demonstrating that no other vendor possesses the equipment volume, logistical capacity, and proven performance record required to independently service an event of this scale and prestige. Historical performance data shows Honey Bucket has consistently delivered superior equipment quality, maintained high cleanliness standards, and provided reliable servicing for high-volume public events, whereas competitors have exhibited service failures and inadequate support. To promote future competition, the government plans to conduct expanded market research, engage additional regional providers, establish detailed performance metrics, and communicate clear performance expectations to potential sources for future solicitations. This small business set-aside with brand-name justification is being solicited in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The contracting officer Odalys Molina, NH-03, made the determination on March 17, 2026.
