    SSJ (Brand Name) Meyer Speaker System - Redacted.pdf
    The document outlines a Single Source Justification for the procurement of a Meyer Sound speaker system and associated rigging hardware by the Band of the Golden West (BOTGW) at Travis AFB, CA. The requirement for a specific brand is due to the need for compatibility with existing Meyer Sound equipment already owned by the BOTGW, particularly the QuickFly rigging system and specific power connector requirements. Despite the brand name stipulation, market research indicates previous contract actions for Meyer speakers were issued to various small businesses, suggesting potential for competition. Furthermore, the contracting officer, Maekyla Rosendo, determined that only a single source is reasonably available for this contract under the FAR guidelines. To mitigate future brand restrictions, the government plans to explore other vendors for future speaker needs. This documentation reflects a structured approach to ensure compliance in government procurement, balancing the need for specific equipment with efforts to foster competition.
