This is a Brand Name Justification document for the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC-PCD) located at 110 Vernon Ave., Panama City, FL 32407. The document authorizes a firm fixed-price contract to procure GlenAir electrical connectors through simplified acquisition procedures with a total estimated value greater than $25,000 but not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold of $350,000.

The acquisition requires six specific GlenAir connector part numbers: 700-001-Q69-Z1SN (Qty. 1), 707-0147-1-Q69-Z1PN (Qty. 1), 700-010-Q69-Z1GNPN-2BJ (Qty. 1), 700-001-M5-Z1SN (Qty. 3), 707-0147-1-M5-Z1PN (Qty. 3), and 700-010-M5-Z1GNPN-2BJ (Qty. 3). The justification rationale centers on compatibility requirements, as GlenAir items are currently in use on the project and selecting an alternative brand would not guarantee compatibility, risking project delays. The Contracting Officer determined that procuring the same GlenAir brand represents the best value and lowest overall cost alternative. Market research concluded that GlenAir is the only brand capable of meeting the Government's needs, and no significant cost savings are expected through competition. The document includes no other supporting facts and indicates that no subsequent actions are necessary to overcome restrictions on this acquisition.
