Items must be delivered to: 551 Waldron St. Bldg 240, Travis AFB, CA. 94535. Items must be the above brand names, no ?or equal? products will be accepted. The following is the approved Brand Name Justification: 1. Requiring Authority: AMC/BA-T; MSgt Michael Goetz, 707-424-1158 2. Description of Requirement: Audio Replacement Equipment 3. Statutory Authority permitting other than full and open competition: Section 4202 of the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996, as implemented by: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirement. 4. Justification or Authority for action: A. R&R Cases and Meyer are essential professional brand names and a brand name requirement for the USAF Band of the Golden West. The listed items and corresponding model numbers are compatible with existing equipment. For example, our power distribution box and other connections are already setup to handle the Mackie items. Also, the USAF Band of the Golden West already has all the proper connectors required to use Mackie and Meyer. We currently have remaining Mackie, Meyer and R&R equipment items and we require to match the existing style and function of our existing equipment. In some instances, we link the Mackie boards together and this is not possible with other brands of lesser quality. These items are self- powered and therefore, don?t require additional amplifiers or processors to function correctly. The size-to-power ratio is also greatly increased from other items and don?t produce the same quality sound required to represent the United States Air Force for highly prolific jobs to include events of the highest caliber including performances for the President of the United States. Other factors to consider with the requested brand names are as follows: Meyer powered speakers allow for maximum flexability of placement at all venues Amp and control electronics are built in to the speakers unlike other manufacturers. We have owned Meyer for many years with proven road reliability and durability. Other products have failed and required quicker replacement/maintenance. The size / weight of Meyer equipment greatly reduces our load in/out time and with the future of the band downsizing, maximum efficiency is optimal Meyer has developed proven proprietary technology that other manufacturer have not developed?.to include the transducers, amplification and control electronics of all Meyer self-powered speakers are created as a symbiotic system that optimizes performance and maximizes power, power connections for existing power distribution are already in place for Meyer equipment only. (replacement cost for changing all power Distro equipment) Meyer loudspeakers are designed to work at optimum efficiency with other Meyer equipment we already own Meyer equipment has more options available than any other company Meyer equipment undergoes rigorous test procedures to insure the absolute highest quality. All Meyer loudspeakers are designed with Optional QuickFly? rigging kits available, with aluminum and steel side rigging bars, AlignaLinks and quick release pins. Items we already own. B. These items are to replace items that were lost in the truck fire and they will be used with existing audio materials of the same brand name. In many performances, speakers are stacked on top of one another. The size of new and old speakers must be uniform if they are to be stacked on top of one another. This will reduce safety hazards by having uniformity with all the speakers instead of having different size speakers that aren?t designed to stack on top of one another. C. The band is currently scheduled to perform on 29 September at the ?Battle of Britian?. Rehearsals happening before that date also require this equipment. Not having the required equipment will severely limit our musical abilities may compromise this unit?s mission. D. The equipment required is available from different vendors. The following vendors have been contacted and can provide the equipment specified. 5.
