P2. Brand Name Justification_Redacted.pdf

This is a Memorandum to the File justifying the use of a single source procurement for specific Zetec Condenser tube inspection equipment components under the simplified acquisition threshold. The document seeks to procure a 36-pin 66 Channel Slip Ring Assembly with specific part numbers (10013316-1 and 10063338), including an upgrade kit to convert a screw mount to a twist lock, with a required delivery date of May 30, 2025.

The procurement is being justified under the "Brand Name" exception, as the items are part of the Zetec Condenser tube inspection equipment and are not interchangeable with different equipment. The manufacturer, Zetec, is the sole source for these specific components, and the contracting activity has determined that these particular parts are essential to the government's requirements and cannot be substituted with alternative products. The technical certification is completed by Marshall Silva from Activity Code 135, with a signature dated February 12, 2025, for the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime.
