Brand Name Justification

This document justifies the procurement of specific "Moxa MGATE 5101-PBM-MN-T" industrial protocol gateways for the LHD/A Machinery Control Systems (MCS) Tech Refresh. The justification is based on the need for these specific gateways to support the modernization of legacy Profibus hardware and integration into existing MCS systems and software.

• Procurement of 155 units of the "Moxa MGATE 5101-PBM-MN-T" (1-port PROFIBUS Master to Modbus TCP gateway, 12-48VDC, -40~75°C).

• Materials to be delivered within 6 months of award.

• The gateways are required to create a communication bridge between Profibus devices and a Modbus TCP network, operating in harsh environments.

• The total estimated dollar value of this purchase request is not explicitly stated but is implied to align closely with market value based on market survey.

• The document references previous purchases (FY21 PCard and FY22 SAP) for similar hardware.

• This document is a justification for brand-name procurement, indicating that full and open competition is precluded.

• Not applicable, as this is a brand-name justification.

• The justification highlights that transitioning to an alternative would be critically disruptive, require significant re-purchasing of hardware for testing, and inject unnecessary risk into the development cycle and timelines.

• The MCS team has identified authorized resellers for the OEM brand (Moxa).

• The procurement is necessary to meet mission requirements and stay on time and on budget for the MCS program.
