This document is a "Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition" (JOFOC) for Brand Name National Stock Numbers (NSNs) managed by the General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service (FAS), Supply Chain Management (SCM) Contracting Division (QSCC). It outlines the rationale for procuring specific brand-name items, rather than allowing full and open competition, due to technical, operational, or interoperability requirements identified by the requiring activities (primarily the Department of War/Defense).

• Procurement Authority: Explains the legal basis (10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1)) for restricting competition on certain NSNs.
• Scope: Covers a division-wide portfolio of Brand Name NSNs, which are dynamic and subject to change.
• Estimated Value: The current SCMCD Brand Name NSN portfolio is estimated at $51,902,297.31 for FY25, with a projected 10-year total of $595,001,672.35 (including a 3% compounded inflation factor for calculation purposes).
• Competition Efforts: GSA maintains a continuously open Request for Information (RFI) on SAM.gov to identify potential alternate items and maximize competition within the brand-name restriction by soliciting from authorized distributors or resellers.
• Market Research: Details ongoing market research, including industry engagements via the RFI, to validate brand-name requirements and identify potential alternatives.
• Future Actions: Outlines actions GSA will take to promote competition and reduce barriers, such as maximizing competition at the action level, maintaining the open RFI, protecting proprietary information, and applying a structured alternate review workflow.
• Contracting Procedures: Procurements will generally follow FAR Part 12 (Commercial Items) and may utilize Federal Supply Schedules or other GSA contract vehicles.
