Room 120 (U-Shape Configuration) 18 Instructor Table - 24 x 36 1 Anticipated Delivery Date: October 2015 27 Aug 2015 MEMORANDUM FOR 42 CONS/LGCA (Commodities) FROM: EAKER CENTER/MS SUBJECT: Brand Name Justification for Air Force Form 9 No. F2XHD25197AW02 1. Description of commodities or services to be acquired : B rief non-technical description of requirement(s) : Purchase new training tables for the Eaker Center, Maxwell AFB. AL. The brand names are Datalink and Hurry Up, both manufactured by KI. This will accommodate the growing student population, affording interoperability and blending as well as replace old and broken training tables. The following items are included in this brand name justification: b. Required delivery date or period of performance : 30 days after date of order 2. Facts justifying award to brand name : •a. Explain why no other manufacturer has or can obtain the capabilities to provide this product or service : The Eaker Center has existing Datalink training tables manufactured by KI in six of their existing eight classrooms on the first floor. The new Datalink tables will allow for multiple classroom configurations and facilitate a wide range of student numbers and teaching modalities. The new tables need to be functionally compatible with the existing tables (electrical and mechanical connections, height, etc.). To avoid the cost of replacing all classrooms' training tables, it is critical that the new training tables integrate and be fully compatible with the existing, functioning equipment. Using other manufacturers would result in mix-matched training tables of slightly varied sizes, colors, and functionality. The Eaker Center also has a requirement for Hurry Up brand tables. The unique capabilities of the Hurry Up tables are that they have casters, the ability to fold for a smaller storage footprint, and particularly they are also compatible with and physically match the Datalink tables. Deb Price, KI's government sales representative, was contacted via email dated 27 August 2015 and confirmed that the DataLink and Hurry Up brand tables have the capability to connect together. Once connected these tables will mirror each other in appearance and maintain their electronic capabilities. Classroom requirements changed due to increased total number of students as well as adapted teaching modalities. Both Datalink and Hurry Up brand tables are compatible with the existing Datalink tables. The interoperability of the classroom training tables will allow for quick reconfiguration, blended adaptation and cross sharing of tables from one classroom to another. •b. Explain the unique salient characteristics of this product or the unique capabilities of this service that make it critical to your mission : The unique capabilities of the Datalink and Hurry Up products are their ability to functionally link with the existing tables in the Eaker Center. Flexible class room dynamics are central to the Eaker Center mission. Classroom training table configurations must accommodate an even larger number of personnel who attend multiple offerings of our 67 different courses. Further, the training tables must accommodate different teaching modalities and styles of delivery. The increase in student population and new course requirements demands additional training tables. These training tables must be of the same quality, size, color, functionality, and appearance of the current tables. Purchasing fewer tables to match the existing tables makes more fiscal sense than buying all new tables for each of our eight first floor classrooms. •c. Include a statement that the proposed brand name is the only known source that can satisfy the Government's requirement, supported by recently conducted market research that substantiates the brand name claim : Datalink and Hurry Up are the only known brands that can satisfy the Government's requirement for this procurement because they perfectly match, seamlessly integrate, and expand existing training tables and functioning equipment in quality and appearance. A letter from KI was received 21 July 2015 confirming that their company alone has the capability to provide Datalink and Hurry Up tables that match the customer's existing tables. Market research proved that there are other manufactures that provide similar tables, but the tables provided would not correlate by design or mechanical function. •d. Statement of actions taken to preclude the necessity for future brand name acquisition of the same product or service : Contracting Squadron will seek to assimilate classroom equipment that is universal and meets the future needs of the Eaker Center training and education mission. In the future, the intention is for full and open competition to replace the entire system as most advantageous for the US Government. 4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition: This requirement is issued pursuant to 10 USC 2304© (1), as set forth in FAR Part 13.106-1(b). "For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contracting Officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably Available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name or industrial Mobilization)".
