This document is a Brand Name Justification for the purchase of twenty-one (21) Comark/Nematron computers for the 76th CMXG. The acquisition aims to replace outdated computers on test stations. The justification highlights that the 76 CMXG has an established process for configuring Comark/Nematron computers with their current AVEVA testing software. Purchasing a different brand would require significant costs for re-engineering, validation, and could cause issues with standardization, spare parts interchangeability, and technician knowledge.

Market research was conducted by submitting multiple Requests for Information (RFIs) to identify vendors capable of providing Comark/Nematron Computers. The RFI period was March 2-5, 2026, with no responses received from vendors on GSA EBUY or NASA SEWP.

The document states that the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), COMARK, LLC, only sells to authorized resellers. McAps INC was identified as the only re-seller registered within SAM.gov capable of conducting business with the government. Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM)s were provided by both the OEM and McAps.

Market research also concluded that NAICS code 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) and FSC 7B22 are appropriate for searching for these computers. Both COMARK and McAps were identified as Large Businesses.

This document indicates a brand-name justification for Comark/Nematron computers. Bidders should note that the government intends to procure this specific brand due to established processes, software compatibility, and cost-effectiveness concerns with alternative brands. The market research identified McAps INC as a key reseller. The justification supports proceeding with a full and open acquisition for this specific brand name requirement.
