Below are the required documents for Brand Name Justification and Approval DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL FOR BRAND NAME PR NR: FA4803-07-Q-A288 This Justification and Approval is prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation, Part 6.303-2. I. Identification of the Agency and Contracting Activity: USCENTAF/A7 and 20th Contracting Squadron, Shaw AFB, SC 29152-2610. II. Nature and/or Description of Action: A brand name request from the customer was received in support of the purchase of 62 MultiRAE Plus Gas Detectors and associated accessories. III. Description of Supplies/Services: The purchase request is for 62 MultiRAE Plus Gas Detectors and associated accessories. The existing system does not meet the current requirement of ACC. The upgrade will provide up to date services for creating and processing wireless information. . IV. Identification of Statutory Authority: 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (2) or 41 U.S. C. 253(c) (2) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1 (4) (c), ?Application for brand name descriptions. An acquisition that uses a brand name description or other purchase description to specify a particular brand name, product, or feature of a product, peculiar to one manufacturer does not provide for full and open competition regardless of the number of sources solicited. It shall be justified and approved in accordance with FAR 6.303 and 6.304.? ?The justification should indicate that the use of such descriptions in the acquisition is essential to the Government?s requirements, thereby precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company.? V. Applicability of Authority: RAE Systems states and certifies that the wireless gas detection system quoted by RAE Systems are manufactured, quoted and/or sold directly to end-using agencies/clients by RAE Systems only. VI. Efforts to Obtain Competition: RAE Systems is the sole source for this equipment item. RAE Systems sells the equipment directly to local, state and federal governmental agencies, DoD, DOE, environmental and clean up contractors, fire departments and Haz-Mat response teams. VII. Fair and Reasonable Pricing: The price obtained for this requirement is deemed fair and reasonable based on the need for the unique design, operability, and compatibility requirements. VIII. Market Research: Market Research was conducted by locating a small dis-advantage business associated with RAE Systems that can provide MultiRae Detectors. IX. Additional Facts: Recent events demonstrated that our deployed Civil Engineer (CE) Readiness forces are not equipped to recon the full spectrum of CBRN and Toxic Industrial Chemical and Toxic Industrial Material (TIC/TIM) threats that our forces can expect to encounter and in some instances have encountered. The objective is to increase force protection capability regarding asymmetric use of TIC/TIM and to quickly posture a capability. CE Readiness forces currently deploy with legacy chemical detectors that are not capable of detecting TIC/TIM hazards. An immediate requirement is a capability to detect and identify chlorine vapors. This detector is critical to Readiness and Emergency Management Flight personnel to ensure force survivability and mission continuation. X. Interested Parties: There were no other interested sources found. XI. Overcoming Competition Barriers: RAE Systems has a small business affiliation that can provide this equipment item. XII. Contracting Officer?s Certification: This justification is accurate and complete to the best of the Contracting Officer?s knowledge and belief.

Repetitive purchases of the RAE Systems MultiRae Detectors require a new brand name justification with each purchase request.
