Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity or to Use Brand-Name Restriction. It explains the rationale for procuring specific parts for the BEAR generator set from a single source or brand name.

• Brand-Name Product: BEAR Circuit Breaker & Control Box.
• Specific Part: Cummins Control Box - Part #: A034H205.
• Need: Three control boxes are urgently needed for the 526th EMXS Basic Expeditionary Airfield Resources (BEAR) Generator overhaul workload, as existing parts are missing or beyond repair.
• Justification for Brand-Name: The parts are proprietary to Cummins and not available through other sources. Technical data and the cognizant engineer confirm that no other brand of parts are authorized for use with the BEAR generator set.
• Contracting Activity: United States Air Force, AFMC AFSC OL:H/PZIMC at Hill Air Force Base, UT.
• Determination: The Contracting Officer determined that FAR 16.505(a)(4)(i) applies, allowing for this exception.
• Fair and Reasonable Cost: The pricing is expected to be close to Cummins pricing, as these are established products.

This document indicates a potential sole-source or brand-name acquisition for specific Cummins control boxes required for BEAR generator overhauls. Bidders interested in supplying these parts should note the brand-name restriction and the justification provided.
