    The document serves as a Brand Name Justification for the specialized Process Hazard Analysis Software Tool (PHAST) developed by Det Norske Ventas (DNV) for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The justification emphasizes that PHAST is unique and one-of-a-kind, with no equivalent software currently available that meets the agency's requirements. This limitation restricts competition, as the product's distinct capabilities cannot be replicated by similar products. According to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), the use of such brand name descriptions is acceptable when the specific characteristics are essential to the government’s needs. This document includes an explanation of the circumstances under which full competition may not be feasible, including market research findings that confirm no comparable products exist. The filename cites several FAR references that guide the justifications for instances requiring heightened scrutiny when brand-name products are specified, emphasizing the need for full compliance with procurement regulations. Overall, the justification underscores the need for the specified software to fulfill the specific operational requirements of FERC effectively.
