- Description
- Brand Name Determination DETERMINATION AND FINDINGS BRAND NAME DETERMINATION 341st CONTRACTING SQUADRON MALMSTROM AFB, MT 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE SUPPLIES/SERVICES REQUIRED A Purchase Request for two ADIT 600 Channel Bank Converged Services Access Gateways was received on 7 July 2014 from the 341st Communications Squadron. The requested equipment from the ADIT manufacturer is (2) ADIT 600 Base 115/-48V, (3) four channel 4-Wire E&M/TO card for voice applications, (1) 19" and 23" rack mount brackets for mounting two ADIT 600 chassis side-by-side, and (2) ADIT installation connector kit. 2. JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLICITING FOR A BRAND NAME The Audit 600 will convert the Radio/MIC key key signal to a "M" lead ground, covert the ground to an in-band signal, combine the TX/RX VOX into a single DS0 channel, and finally tranport everything over the microwave system. The 341st Communications Squadron is requesting to restrict competition because the 38th Engineering and Installation Squadron provided the above set-up as the only solution to get the helicopter net onto the our microwave system. 3. EFFORTS TO OBTAIN COMPETITION Based on the expected dollar amount, quotations will be solicited orally IAW FAR 13.106-1(c)(1). 4. STEPS TO PRECLUDE FUTURE BRAND NAME AWARDS Research conducted by the 38th Engineering and Installation Squadron has provided the above as the only workable solution to ensure communication between the operations desk and the helicopter while it is in flight. The previous Motorola system has reached its end of life and is no longer supported by Motorola. 5. CONTRACTING OFFICER'S DETERMINATION I have determined, IAW FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only one brand (ADIT 600) is acceptable.
