X Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a brand name

CHECK & FILL IN ALL APPLICABLE BLANKS BELOW

X The requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the government.

____ The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Describe the equipment/function you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.

The United States Air Force Band currently owns brands requested on this solicitation. It is in the best interest of the government to purchase matching equipment for compatibility and ease of use so personnel are not required to be knowledgeable on multiple platforms. Each electrical component has been selected due to its compatibility with all of the other components when used together. Substitution of another brand may result in equipment non-compatibility which is not acceptable and therefore does not meet the needs of the government.
