About this file
This is a Brand Name Justification and Approval document from the National Guard Bureau's United States Property and Fiscal Officer for Kentucky, dated February 13, 2025, for Purchase Request Number 12209539.
The Kentucky Army National Guard (KYARNG) seeks to procure three (3) Zephyr ZL-1051-2 E-bag Kits, which include ZL-1000-1 AxelCut™, ZL-6000-3 QuickSplice with Slide-Lok Hook, and ZRG-6000-1 DarkLight G2B, for use with Breeze style hoists. The justification for brand-name procurement is based on the fact that the Zephyr E-bag ZL-1051-2 is the only authorized product compatible with their current UH60L/M Breeze Style rescue hoist equipment, as specified in NAVAIR 13-1-6.5 Technical Manual and AWR 980 R28, Appendix B, Table 1. Market research was conducted on February 13, 2025, and the document notes that no barriers to competition can currently be removed due to the limited providers for Breeze style hoists.
