This document serves as a Brand Name Justification for the procurement of specific parts from Rockwell Automation's Allen Bradley brand, totaling under $250,000. The parts required include a Circuit Breaker, Dynamic Measurement Module, a 12VDC Battery, and a Network Adapter. The justification is primarily based on compatibility with existing systems, as these items are direct replacements for components currently in use. The need for these parts is critical for operational continuity, and the procurement is supported by statutory authority under U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), which allows for limited competition when only one responsible source can meet the agency's needs. The document includes a certification of accuracy by the contracting officer, emphasizing the urgency and necessity of maintaining the functionality of existing equipment. Overall, this document reflects the government's procedural requirements for ensuring that specific brand-name products are procured when necessary for operational efficiency and compatibility.
The document addresses a query regarding a specific part number, 140G-G2C3-C50, related to circuit breakers. The question raised concerns a discrepancy in the part's description, which states "2 poles" while the actual part corresponds to "3 poles." The response confirms that the correct configuration for part 140G-G2C3-C50 is indeed a 3 Pole Breaker. This clarification is significant for bidders responding to requests for proposals (RFPs) or grants that require precise technical specifications for compliance and accuracy in the offered products. Proper understanding of product specifications is crucial in federal and state procurement processes to ensure correct supply and alignment with project requirements.
