Brand Name Justification: In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 11.105 (a) (1), the particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to the Government's requirement and market research indicates other companies' similar products, or products lacking the particular feature, do not meet, or cannot be modified to meet, the agency's needs. The FBI has a requirement to replace all 31 drinking fountains in the FBI Laboratory. The drinking fountain that meets the requirement of the FBI is the Halsey Taylor; Model #HTHB-HAC8WF-PV filtered single HAC Cooler with Hydroboost Bottle filler which includes features such as LED visual indicators to indicate when filter maintenance is required. In order to keep all Quantico facilities uniform and ADA compliant, the FBI needs this specific brand name and model. The FBI technicians are already experience with installing and maintaining this brand and model drinking fountain. The FBI technicians also have an inventory of parts that is cost effective for the FBI. Modifications to the walls and plumbing are minimal since this is the existing model installed throughout the facility. In addition, the drains are "hard piped" in concrete and to retro fit with another brand would include extensive labor and additional funds; by using the Halsey Taylor make and model, the existing drains will not have to be reconfigured and or retro fitted.
