DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCEUNITED STATES AIR FORCE ACADEMY PREPARATORY SCHOOLUSAF ACADEMY, COLORADO 8 May 2006 MEMORANDUM FOR 10 MSG/LGCB (Attn: Will Schlegel) FROM: HQ USAFA/PLA SUBJECT: Justification for Brand Name Only 1. The athletic department is preparing to replace the annual bench stock of durable athletic goods (coaching gear, uniforms and athletic shoes) used throughout last year?s various athletic programs for the Prep School. The United States Air Force Academy has a contract with NIKE for these good for the athletic programs for the Academy athletic program that does not include the Prep School because of NCAA recruiting regulations. Purchasing the NIKE brand is required to match the existing clothing styles, athletic shoes and team uniforms and avoids the need to dispose of NIKE equipment that remains suitable for use by the Prep School. The estimated cost of this requirement is approximately $40,000.00. 2. The Nike brand of durable goods is currently in use for intercollegiate athletic competition at the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA). The USAFA Prep School athletes will continue to benefit from the wear and use of the same equipment, apparel and footwear supplied at USAFA as well as continues to enhance their specific athletic preparation. 3. PLA performed market research and concluded that other companies do provide similar products of this nature. What was found was if the current bench stock was to be replaced by another athletic brand, significant cost would be incurred due to several factors: rework of current logo?s, screening, matching uniformity of sport specific athletic uniforms and coaching apparel could lead to having to purchase entire new sets of clothing and uniforms. Another factor taken into account was the requirements of spares on hand. After review the current brand of durable athletic goods is the most cost effective and most efficient method for a viable replacement program for of our athletic department. 4. Based on the above information, we recommend the Nike brand as the only product capable of meeting the current government requirements. The requiring activity certifies that the information provided to support this recommendation is complete and accurate to the best of our knowledge. /-signed/ - tcb 8 May 2006 TODD C.
