This is a Brand Name Requirement Justification Form for NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers documenting a sole source or brand name restriction on a federal contract opportunity.

The procurement involves three quick release parts manufactured by AVIBANK MFG., INC. (CAGE: 84256): Part Numbers N62758-6045-7580 (BLC6BC66S), N62758-6045-7581 (BLNC-8-10), and N62758-6045-7582 (BLDC-4-25). The justification establishes a brand name requirement based on multiple factors: the materials are direct replacement components for existing equipment on USS HIGGINS (DDG-76) where other manufacturers' products do not properly fit and function; AVIBANK MFG., INC. controls and owns the design, characteristics, and production through proprietary engineering drawings and specifications; and the company holds intellectual property rights with no authorized substitutes or alternates available from other sources. The form confirms that the requested materials represent the minimum government requirements and certifies that all statements and information provided are complete and correct to the best knowledge of the signatory, acknowledging that this sole source or brand name justification precludes competition to the maximum extent practicable.
