BRAND NAME for Sennheiser Products - Line Items 21-23print_Redacted.pdf

This Justification Review Document from the National Guard Bureau details a brand-specific procurement for Sennheiser audio equipment. The requirement is for specific Sennheiser components including an Antenna Splitter (EWDAntS), Directional Antenna (EWDAntUHF), and Antenna Coaxle Cable (BB25), designed for microphone integration with existing wireless Sennheiser equipment. The procurement is being conducted under 47 USC 410(6) as implemented in FAR 8.405-6(b) for items peculiar to one manufacturer, with a firm fixed price contract type for O&M Army funding.

The document indicates the requirement will be set-aside for small businesses on SAM.GOV, with market research showing multiple small businesses can provide the Sennheiser manufacturer equipment. The technical representative, CW4 Wade A. Furniss, certified the supporting data as accurate, and the Contracting Officer, MS. Crystal Stiles, is scheduled to approve the document on September 09, 2025. The procurement emphasizes that alternative brands would render current hardware useless or cause technical integration issues, justifying the sole-source approach for these specific Sennheiser components.
