About this file
This is a Brand Name Justification document for procurement request 36C24525B0001, which justifies the sole use of Convergint Technologies as the fire alarm maintenance and implementation contractor at a VA medical center campus. The justification cites FAR 11.105(a)(1) and 36.202(c), stating that this particular brand name product is essential to the government's requirements, and market research indicates other companies' similar products cannot meet or be modified to meet the agency's needs.
The document explains that Convergint Technologies is already standardized as the current fire alarm contractor at this location, and due to the critical life-safety nature of fire alarm devices, maintaining a single source for implementation and programming is most secure. The requirement for Convergint Technologies is specified in project specification section 28 31 00. The document requires approval signatures from both the Contracting Officer (CO) and Contracting Officer's Representative (COR).
