About this file
This document is a brand name justification for a solicitation seeking a Furuno ECDIS planning station and monitor from the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The justification states that the agency requires the Furuno brand in order to maintain continuity and compatibility with an upcoming integrated bridge system upgrade. Utilizing an alternate brand could result in additional costs to the government through requiring customized configurations, alternate spare parts, potential split-vendor support for troubleshooting, and extra administrative efforts for configuration control. As the sole manufacturer of the required items, market research was appropriately limited to Furuno products.
