6a. AUTHORITY CITED 41 USC 1901 as implemented in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) Soliciting from a single source.

b. Reason for Authority Cited

IAW DFARS 206.302-1(c)(2) and section 888(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Pub. L. 114-328), the justification and approval addressed in FAR 6.303 is required in order to use brand name or equal descriptions.

7. POSTING REQUIREMENTS

Include MFR with solicitation (FAR 13.106-1(b)(3)).

8. CONTRACTING REQUIREMENTS

a. Efforts to Obtain Competition

The requirement will be posted on Sam.gov as a brand name or equal requirement and will allow offerors to provide products other than those specifically referenced by brand-name. IAW FAR 6.302-1 (c)(2) allowing prospective contractors to offer other products provides for full and open competition.

b. Actions to Increase Competition

The requirement will be posted on Sam.gov as a brand name or equal requirement and will allow offerors to provide products other than those specifically referenced by brand-name. IAW FAR 6.302-1 (c)(2) allowing prospective contractors to offer other products provides for full and open competition.

c. Market Research

A previous RFQ was posted on GSA e-Buy using only salient characteristics. Only one (1) quote was received prior to the RFQ close date and the quote was 300% higher than the IGE . Feedback from vendors stated that they didn’t provide quotes because the Government did not specify a specific manufacturer or part number. As a result of this feedback, it was decided that a brand name orequal description would increase competition.
