    12085 - Brand Name Justification.pdf
    The document outlines a Single Source Justification for the procurement of two Digital Radiography (DR) systems from Carestream Health Inc. by the 709th MXSS to support Advanced Composite Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI) and Missile X-ray operations. The purchase, estimated at $150,000, is necessitated by the requirement to comply with Technical Order (T.O.) specifications, ensuring compatibility with existing equipment. The analysis indicates that alternative systems would not meet operational needs and would incur unnecessary costs. Initial market research confirmed Carestream as the sole manufacturer of the innovative Industrex image viewing software essential for the compatibility among systems. Although future needs might still mandate single-source justifications due to brand name requirements, the government intends to explore additional vendors to potentially diversify future procurements. The contracting officer, Hideo Mera, has affirmed that only Carestream is adequately positioned to fulfill these specific requirements pursuant to FAR regulations, thereby justifying this procurement action.
