BRAND NAME OR EQUAL

(As used in this paragraph, the term "brand name" includes identification of products by make and model.)

(a) If items called for by this Request for Proposals have been identified in the Schedule by a "brand name or equal" description, such identification is intended to be descriptive, but not restrictive, and is to indicate the quality and characteristics of products that will be satisfactory. Proposals offering "equal" products, including products of a brand name manufacturer other than the one described in the Schedule, will be considered for award if such products are clearly identified in the proposals and are determined by the Government to meet fully the salient characteristics requirements referenced in the Statement of Work.

(b) Unless the offeror clearly indicates in his proposal that he is offering an "equal" product, his proposal shall be considered as offering the brand name product referenced in the Schedule.

(c) (1) If the offeror proposes to furnish an "equal" product, the brand name, if any, of the product to be furnished shall be inserted in the space provided in the Request for Proposals, or such product shall be otherwise clearly identified in the proposal. The evaluation of proposals and the determination as to equality of the product offered shall be the responsibility of the Government and will be based on information furnished by the offeror or identified in his proposal.

CAUTION TO OFFERORS. The purchasing activity is not responsible for locating or securing any supporting information. Accordingly, to insure that sufficient information is available, the offeror must furnish as a part of its proposal for an "equal" product, all descriptive material (such as cuts, illustrations, drawings, or other information) necessary for the purchasing activity to (i) determine whether the product offered meets the salient characteristics requirements of the Request for Proposal and (ii) establish exactly what the offeror proposes to furnish and what the Government would be binding itself to purchase by making an award. The information furnished may include specific references to information previously furnished or to information otherwise available to the purchasing activity. Descriptive material is not required if the offeror is proposing the "brand name" specified in the schedule.

(2) If the offeror proposes to modify a product so as to make it conform to the requirements of the Request for Proposals, he shall (i) include in his proposal a clear description of such proposed modifications and (ii) clearly mark any descriptive material to show the proposed modifications.

AMC-LEVEL PROTEST PROGRAM (Feb 2014)

Prior to submitting an agency protest, it is preferable that you first attempt to resolve your concerns with the responsible contracting officer. However, you may also file a protest to the Headquarters (HQ), Army Materiel Command (AMC). The HQ AMC-Level Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns within AMC as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or other external forum. Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent, and within the same time periods, as if filed at the GAO. The AMC protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 35 calendar days from filing. To be timely, protests must be filed within the periods specified in FAR 33.103. If you want to file a protest under the HQ AMC-Level Protest Program, the protest must request resolution under that program and be sent to the address below.

Headquarters U.S. Army Materiel Command Office of Command Counsel-Deputy Command Counsel 4400 Martin Road Rm: A6SE040.001 Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898-5000 Fax: (256) 450-8840 or email usarmy.redstone.usamc.mbx.protests@mail.mil The AMC-Level Protest procedures are found at: http://www.amc.army.mil/amc/commandcounsel.html.

If internet access is not available, contact the contracting officer or HQ, AMC to obtain the HQ AMC-Level Protest Procedures.
