Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a "Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity or to Use Brand-Name Restriction." It explains why the government is seeking to procure a specific brand-name engine and is not soliciting offers from other vendors for this particular requirement.

• Brand-Name Product: CUMMINS ISL9 450 ENGINE
• Description: Cummings engine specifically modified to the serial number of a ladder truck.
• Contracting Activity: 90TH Contracting Squadron, FE Warren, AFB
• Action: Procurement of a Cummins ISL9 450 replacement engine for Fire Department Ladder truck 11C00445.
• Justification for Brand-Name Restriction: The Cummins ISL9 450 is stated to be the only engine that meets the agency's needs due to the unique and proprietary OEM design integration, electronics, and software of the E-One P-31 ladder truck. Using a different engine risks voiding safety certifications, increasing re-engineering costs, and potential inoperability due to incompatible proprietary software.
• Fairness Determination: The Contracting Officer will determine the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable by comparing proposed prices against local vendor quotes and an Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE).
• Future Actions: For future acquisitions, the agency will consider including requirements for non-proprietary, standardized, or interoperable engine and chassis components to promote competition.

This document indicates that for the specific opportunity related to Ladder truck 11C00445, the government intends to sole-source the procurement of a Cummins ISL9 450 engine. Bidders who do not offer this specific engine or cannot demonstrate compatibility and compliance without significant re-engineering will likely not be considered for this particular action. It also signals a potential future shift towards more open specifications for similar procurements.
