    A5 42777104 BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION.pdf
    This memorandum addresses the use of other than full and open competition for a procurement under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, emphasizing a sole-source acquisition for document 4277-7104. According to federal acquisition regulations (FAR 13.106-1), contracting officers can solicit from a single source when justified, citing reasons such as urgency or exclusive licensing. The specific item required is a stainless steel component (Swagelok product P/N: SS-2400-6-24AN) critical for nuclear test equipment, which has undergone extensive reliability testing to ensure safety and performance. Due to the unique characteristics of the Swagelok components, including their precision and compatibility with existing equipment, intermixing parts from different manufacturers could lead to significant safety concerns and delays. The memorandum highlights that an alternative source could take over a year for testing, resulting in substantial additional costs and project delays. Technical and contracting officer certifications affirm the sole-source necessity, supporting the justification for this acquisition decision while adhering to regulatory requirements.
