About this file

This is a Brand Name Justification document for Corbin Russwin Door Hardware at the VA Medical Center in Martinsburg, associated with procurement request 36C24525B0001 for renovating Building 500 into a Patient Business Center.

The justification cites FAR 11.105(a)(1) and 36.202(c) to explain why Corbin Russwin hardware is essential, noting it is the existing master keying system throughout the campus. Using other manufacturers' hardware would create stocking problems for multiple parts types, increase maintenance costs, and result in inconsistent appearances. The brand name requirement is specified in project specifications section 08 71 00 – Door Hardware. The document requires approval signatures from both the Contracting Officer (CO) and Contracting Officer's Representative (COR).

BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION

FAR 36.202 Specifications and VAAR 836.202-70 Specifications – use of equal products

PROCUREMENT REQUEST 36C24525B0001

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 11.105(a)(1) and 36.202(c), the particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to the Government’s requirements, and market research indicates other companies’ similar products, or products lacking the particular feature, do not meet, or cannot be modified to meet, the agency’s needs

For Specifications – use of equal products (VAAR 836.202-70 and 852.236-90).

Corbin Russwin Door Hardware is the system currently in place here at the VA. It is the Master Keying system in use throughout the VAMC Martinsburg campus. The uses of other manufacturer’s styles that may have compatible cores present a stocking problem of parts for multiple hardware types, increasing the costs of maintenance. Moreover, the styles do not match Corbin Russwin, creating unsightly inconsistency in appearance.

The Corbin Russwin brand name is called out in the project specifications section 08 71 00 – Door Hardware.

Approval of the Brand Name Justification:

Contracting Officer (CO) Date

(COR) Date

For Specifications use of equal products VAAR 83620270 and 85223690: Off
