JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL FOR BRAND NAME OR EQUIVALENT
Purchase Request/Requisition #: 12051753
Organization/Line Office: Utah Army National Guard/19SF GRP (ABN)
Description of Action being approved: New contract, firm fixed price.
Life Fitness/ Hammer Strength lower body and Isolation equipment for Physical Therapy and Physical Fitness Enhancement
Statutory Authority permitting other than the full and open competition: This acquisition is being conducted under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation FAR 6.302-1(c); DFARS 206.302-1(c)(2).

3. Life Fitness/Hammer Strength Iso-Lateral series, Plate-Loaded machines, and the Ground Base line have demonstrated smooth operation, an ergonomic design, and balanced strength development promotion.
4. Life Fitness and Hammer Strength are made with high quality steel ensuring that it can hold up to years of rigorous use in a Special Forces fitness environment.
Fair and Reasonable Price Determination: Award issued under this individual brand name or equal justification shall represent a fair and reasonable price as the agreed-to pricing will be based upon competition and price analysis in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a)(1). Therefore, the price paid will represent the best value and result in the lowest overall cost to meet the needs of the Utah Army National Guard.
