BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION and APPROVAL

Purchase Request / Requisition# 0012072880 / W91NEJ40080003

Organization/Line Office: Utah Army National Guard / UTES

Description of Action being approved: New contract, firm-fixed price

Description of Product, Supplies or Services required to meet the Agency’s needs: Snap-On Prolink Ultra Starter W2019LMT, HD Diagnostic kit and Training Mil Scan

An identification of the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition: This acquisition is being conducted under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1(c).

Identification of the Justification Rationale:

1. The Snap-On Pro-Link scan tool with added military-specific software is the only scan tool capable of aiding in troubleshooting most of the wheeled National Guard equipment, including tactical equipment, and their sub-systems. Snap-On is the only company that offers Pro-Link and a military equipment-specific software package included.

2. Standardization of a single device/brand/tool among multiple National Guard units creates consistency, simplifies & streamlines training, improves maintenance & repair timeframes, and vastly strengthens logistical support of the equipment we maintain.

3. The Snap-On Pro-Link is also capable of completing troubleshooting on the current inventory of Non- Tactical Vehicles (NTVs) i.e. Ford Escapes and Chevy HHR, of which we have no capabilities to currently diagnose.

Fair and Reasonable Price Determination: Award issued under this individual limited source justification represents a fair and reasonable price as the agreed to pricing will be based upon competitive quotes received from authorized retailers of the brand in a competitive environment. Price analysis will be performed on all quotes received. Therefore, the price paid will represent the best value and result in the lowest overall cost to meet the needs of the Utah National Guard.

Actions to Increase Competition: This Brand‐Name requirement will be competed among multiple small business offerors on GSA (or SAM.gov) who can supply this specific item, thus ensuring increased competition.

Market Research conducted: Reviewed publicly available information in the marketplace. Conducted additional market research by researching previously awarded contracts within our agency and on fdps.gov.

Technical Cognizance: As the technical or requirement personnel, I certify that the supporting data under my cognizance, which are included in the justification are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
