A2 Brand Name JA Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification Review Document and Single Source Determination submitted by the National Guard Bureau for a brand-name acquisition of Scalarworks M4 Rifle Scopes & Mounts. The contracting activity is the 107th Mission Support Contracting office, with the requiring activity being the 274th Air Support Operations Squadron. The acquisition is structured as a new firm fixed-price contract for O&M Air funding, classified as a Brand Name/Individual Basis procurement action.

The justification demonstrates that only Scalarworks brand equipment meets the specific operational requirements because both Scalarworks and Nightforce brand scope mounts are currently in the military organization's inventory and are routinely used for training purposes. Scalarworks mounts are compatible with existing M4 picatinny rails and have a proven track record of maintaining proper alignment under all conditions, while the Nightforce brand scope provides the required clarity at all ranges and magnifications with the necessary elevation and windage capabilities without compromising visibility or target obstruction. The document certifies that no other brand M4 rifle scopes or mounts provide the required integrated capabilities. The government intends to post a 100% Small Business set-aside combined solicitation/synopsis to SAM.gov to seek competition for this brand-name requirement. The Contracting Officer certified on July 8, 2026, that the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable. Documentation will be posted to SAM.gov in accordance with RFO 12.102(a) requirements.
