    Brand Name Justification W9124J-24-R-LIVE U V1_8.15.24_KB signed.pdf
    The document outlines a justification for a brand name requirement of LIVE U Software subscriptions by the United States Army Medical Center of Excellence, totaling $52,559.16. This action falls under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3406(c)(5) as implemented by FAR 16.505(a)(4), which mandates category management in federal acquisitions. The justification indicates a need for the LiveU LU800 video transmission system, integral for secure live broadcasting of critical military events, requiring specific technical compliance with the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. Market research determined that the unique capability required by the LiveU system precludes open competition, as no equivalent services could fulfill the technical constraints. Although more than one small business can potentially provide the service, the Deputy Chief of Staff validated the necessity for brand name procurement. The contract will be executed by the U.S. Army Mission and Installation Contracting Command, which will ensure a fair and reasonable cost for the government. The document serves as a formal approval to proceed with limiting sources for the acquisition, contingent on funding availability and adherence to acquisition authorizations.
