The document outlines a justification and approval for using a specific brand of face brick, Belden Modular No. 8601 21-27 Smooth, in a fixed-price construction contract for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The approval seeks to utilize this sole source due to the requirement for uniformity in the architectural design of an addition to the existing Air Force Research Laboratory complex. The addition must comply with historical preservation standards, necessitating that the new brick perfectly matches the style and color of the existing structure. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR regulations, emphasizing the lack of alternatives to maintain visual consistency. Despite efforts to identify other suppliers, Belden's bricks are deemed the only viable option. The notice of intent posted for interested parties yielded no alternative responses. The contract anticipates fair pricing based on an independent government estimate, highlighting the project's compliance with federal requirements and the commitment to maintaining architectural integrity at the facility.
