Unimac Washers/Dryers

This memorandum justifies a sole-source acquisition under FAR Part 13 for Marine Forces Reserve (MFR) G-4 to procure specific UniMac washer-extractors and dryers. The procurement, which falls under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, is for three UniMac 130lb Washer-Extractors (SKU: UWT130V40VQ050EA00) and three UniMac 170lb Single Tumble Dryers (SKU: UT170NVN0RQA6W0000). The determination for using other than full and open competition is based on a brand-name justification. MFR G-4 needs these specific models to establish a laundry and repair capability at the Reserve Intermediate Supply Activity (RISA) that aligns with equipment used by Active Component Forces at MCAS Miramar, CA. The primary reason for this brand-name requirement is that civilian personnel who will operate the equipment are already trained on these specific UniMac models, ensuring efficient and continuous processing of Individual Combat Clothing Equipment (ICCE). The document includes certifications from technical/requirements personnel and the contracting officer, confirming the accuracy and completeness of the justification.
