The General Services Administration (GSA) seeks approval for a brand-name-only procurement of two Bearing Staking Tool Sets from The Boeing Company, specifically Part Number 145G0327-1, with an estimated total value of $12,000. This action falls under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for brand name acquisitions not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The justification stems from the U.S. Army's specific needs, demonstrated through market research revealing that only certain brands meet operational requirements and compatibility standards. Efforts to source competitive bids will be made, including public posting on SAM.gov. However, a pre-solicitation notice is not required due to the item’s value. The GSA's ongoing feedback mechanism aims to identify potential alternatives for future acquisitions and to mitigate barriers to competition. The contracting officer certifies the justification's accuracy, emphasizing that the brand name determination is made by the requiring activity based on rigorous technical specifications and logistics considerations outlined in DOD Manuals. This procurement supports the Army's operational readiness by ensuring the necessary tools are available for missions.
