FY26 Emulsion and Sealcoat Products (IDIQ)

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a Brand Name Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the procurement of asphalt emulsion and pavement sealcoat products. It explains why the government intends to solicit from a single source or brand name.

• Section A: General Contract Information: Identifies the contracting activity, program name, and purchase request details.
• Section B: Description of Supplies/Services Required: Details the need for asphalt emulsion and seal coat products for facility and roadway projects at JBER, specifically mentioning GSB-78 and GSB-88 products approved by AFCEC.
• Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name: Explains that only three types of AFCEC-approved GSB products (GSB-78, GSB-88, and Gripflex) are suitable for JBER's aprons, taxiways, overruns, and shoulders. It highlights that these products require immediate use upon mixing and specific temperature conditions for application, and JBER lacks the storage and heating capacity for continuous supply.
• Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition: States that while only three seal coats are AFCEC-mandated, multiple companies can provide GSB-78 and GSB-88. The requirement will be posted on SAM.gov to promote competition.
• Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards: Indicates that AFCEC is the lead agency for these requirements and that the 773rd CES will monitor the market for potential alternatives.
• Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination: The Contracting Officer has determined, in accordance with RFO 12.102 Restricting Competition, that only a single brand is reasonably available.

This document is crucial for bidders to understand the justification for a potential brand-name or sole-source acquisition. It outlines the specific products (GSB-78 and GSB-88) required and the reasons for their limited availability or suitability, which may impact how vendors can respond to the opportunity.
