NA

Purchase Request Number: 11244175& 11227730

Statuatory authority, in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), permitting other than full and open competition:

FAR 8.405-6(a), Restricting Consideration under GSA Federal Supply Schedules

FAR 13.106-1(b), Soliciting from a Single Source

FAR 11.105, Items Peculiar to One Manufacturer

FAR 6.302-1(c), Application for Brand-Name Descriptions

Describe your market research efforts and efforts to ensure that offers are solicited from as many sources as practical:

Based on past contracts the Medical Detachment has searched numerous internet sites for this product. The reason for this is that all current hearing booths being used by the AL ARNG in Birmingham, Mobile, & Fort McClellan are the same Industrial Acoustics Company model. Purchase of any other brand would require a redo of the current room configurations and in some cases would require walls to be moved. This would add even more cost to the purchase of the needed equipment.

Revised 16 October 2015

State why you feel that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable:

Based on market research there is adequate price competition that will result in best value to the government. In addition, as this is a commercial item, commercial catalog pricing will be utilized to assist in a price reasonableness determination.
