Redacted Brand Name Justification.pdf

This is a Brand Name Justification document for a simplified acquisition submitted by the contracting activity AFSC/OL/H/PZIOP at Hill Air Force Base, Utah.

UTTR (United States Air Force Test and Training Range) seeks to procure twelve (12) Quickset MPT-50 Model 8-JA100-MW6 Pan/Tilt Positioners to replace aging Panasonic pan/tilt positioners and restore camera positioning capability at Dugway Proving Ground (DPG). The existing Panasonic equipment has been in service for over 20 years, lacks manufacturer support, and has limited replacement parts availability, creating sustainment risk. The Quickset MPT-50 provides the required 75-pound payload capacity, 0.01-degree positioning resolution, 0.05-degree repeatability, programmable preset positions, and long-term manufacturer support necessary to meet DPG camera operations requirements while maintaining compatibility with existing laser camera and Phantom housing systems. The Purchase Request/Identification Number is F2DTAG6205A001.

The contracting officer determined that market research identified no other commercially available system meeting UTTR's combination of performance characteristics, compatibility with existing camera systems, and integration requirements. Future procurements will prioritize performance-based criteria to encourage competition among qualified manufacturers. The Contracting Officer, Tiffany Oliver, approved this brand name justification on 29 July 2026 in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
