About this file
This is a Market Research Finding (MRF) form documenting a sole-source justification for a brand-name purchase under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) for the U.S. Army Contracting Command at Rock Island Arsenal. The requirement is for a Liebert PDX/PCW 5 Ton Upflow Air Handler (PX018UA1CD0A49) and MC Air Cooled Microchannel Condenser with specific configuration numbers, operating on 208/230V 3-phase 60Hz power.
The document justifies limiting competition based on FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for brand name acquisition. Morgan Advanced Materials is identified as the only approved vendor for Carbon Graphite Inserts used in MK 85 Rato Nozzles. The justification cites the brand's advanced cooling and dehumidification capabilities, efficiency in small spaces, and compatibility with existing systems. The action is a fixed-price purchase order (W44W9M501400N) for FY25, requiring public posting since it exceeds $30K. The justification emphasizes the importance of maintaining system compatibility for explosive operations and cost savings through parts interchangeability.

Text version
Installing similar same or similar HVAC systems where possible ensures part compatibility and cost savings to the government due to redundancy in O&M and shop stock, where similar parts can be stocked for interchangeability and be applicable to several systems if repair is needed. This is paramount with these types of systems because of their critical importance in explosive operations and the potential of mission delay or failure.
The IGCE provided by the end customer, in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a)(2)(vi), which states, in part that, the contracting officer may base his statement of price reasonableness in comparison to an independent government estimate".
