MEMORANDUM OF RECORD

SUBJECT: Brand Name Justification

1. Brief description of supplies or services required and the intended use:

This “Chemical” supply contract provides the U.S. Army Public Health Center (APHC), Laboratory Sciences (LS) with a procurement alternative for the purchase of laboratory mission critical chemical supplies needed to sustain the basic operations of the APHC laboratory. This mechanism has been used to avoid stock-out incidents for critically needed chemicals. These critically needed chemicals are required to arrive in the lab within 24 - 72 hours of ordering and help to avoid sending in-house laboratory analysis to the contractors for analysis. Consumption of stocked laboratory chemical supplies for emergency response projects during the sequestration had compromised the routine procurement process and results in an increased dependence and need to procure consumable lab supplies thru contracting. The procurement of operational laboratory supplies via a contract mechanism enables the LS to continue operating day to day using a “just in time” chemical inventory management approach. Chemical supplies ordered under this contract include bulk chemicals, spikes and standards that are all required to perform laboratory analysis in support of APHC projects throughout the world.

2. Brand Named Item #1: Absolute Standards

a. Describe Item:

i. EPA Method 552 Haloacetic

ii. CUSTOM PESTICIDE MIX

b. Unique characteristics that limit availability to this item, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: These items have been deemed a quality critical chemical supply through the APHC Quality management system under the

ISO 17025 laboratory accreditation program standards. They have been evaluated, reviewed, tested and been deemed acceptable for use within the APHC laboratory for the processing and analysis of laboratory samples.

c. Explain why an adequate purchase description or other information suitable to solicit by full and open competition has not been developed or are not available: The laboratory has evaluated and approved these quality critical chemicals from this brand name source to be used in the analysis of chemical contamination in samples. No other sources meet these criteria under the ISO

17025 lab accreditation program for the APHC laboratory use.

35. Provide a statement of actions, if any, the government may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before future acquisitions are required. If this is a follow-on action to a previously competed action, so state:

The APHC laboratory staff continually monitors the market for new or equivalent technologies and chemistries that would meet the quality critical needs of the laboratory.

If the market research yields chemicals that meet the critical quality requirements of the laboratory, the government would be happy to entertain other brands of chemicals.
