    LIMITED SOURCE Orange Polyurethane_Redacted.pdf
    This document is a Memorandum for Record justifying limiting competition for the procurement of 60 one-gallon kits of Hentzen Corporation's 'TOPCOAT, AIRCRAFT AND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT, TWO COMPONENT' (Orange Zenthane Plus). The contracting activity is ARMY CONTRACTING COMMAND – ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND TOBYHANNA DIVISION. The justification is based on FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for purchases not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, citing brand name as the reason. Market research confirmed that Hentzen's product offers a unique combination of characteristics, including a quick-dry formulation, performance in hot/humid conditions with minimal defects, extended pot life of several days, and short-filled kits allowing in-container mixing. Competing products were found to have significantly shorter pot lives, required separate mixing vessels, or necessitated higher film thicknesses for opacity, which would negatively impact production rates and costs. This ensures the acquisition of a product that meets specific operational requirements and maximizes efficiency in field work.
