- Description
- Justification for "brand name only" requirement. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial "Brand Name Only" requirement prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation is issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ), reference numbers F4B6109104A002 in accordance with FAR Parts 12 & 13. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-33, Effective 15 Jul 2009. The 98th currently has over 500 each Rigging Innovation Containers in inventory. Changing brands is not in our best interest as it would require entirely new sets of canopies and containers for standardization. Training processes would also have to be adjusted should the revamp occur. This is the only brand viable to earn the award for this contract. After extensive research the Talon 3.0 and Telesis 3.0 is the correct size container required for our AM-490/491/492 and 496 formal programs. Our market research shows that no other manufacturer has the precise size containers using the type of construction necessary to meet our extreme environmental conditions. The adjustable harness will accommodate the wide range of body types associated with our programs from our 5 foot, 100-pound females to our 6 foot 4 inch, 200-pound football players. As well, container size/volume must be compatible with the canopy size currently in inventory. The United States Air Force Academy, CONS/LGC requires the purchase of the following systems: CLIN 0001: 25 Each MIL-HC4000U-F, Talon FS Parachute Harness/Container w/Spacer Foam with:  Navy Blue and Royal accents  RSL  BOC  Kill-Line Collapsible Main Pilotchute  Navy Hackey  FAST Articulated harness  Double wide legstraps  Main Speed bag  Ty-17 Risers  Main Container PD-235/Reserve container PR-218  "Air Force" Monogram on side  30" ZP main Pilotchute  Size: TXX CLIN 0002: 30 Each MIL-HC8154U Telesis 3.0 USAFA Student Harness/Container System  Navy Blue  NON Adj 16" harness/SOS-RED  USAFA-Main MLW Mounted Ripcord Assy  FXC Main-Cypres Resv  Wide legstraps  Clear reserve R/C inspection flap  Thread-thru leg strap H/W  Main Speed Bag (PR-235/PD-260 Dacron lines)  Royal Blue #1 and #2  Flap Size: TSX The North American Industry Classification System Code NAICS is 451110 and the size standard is $7 million.
