Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC)

This document justifies the procurement of Brand Name National Stock Numbers (NSNs) across various Federal Supply Groups (FSGs) managed by the GSA FAS Supply Chain Management (SCM) Contracting Division (QSCC). This justification applies division-wide to support Department of War (DoW) and other Federal Agency customers, ensuring continued supply availability and mission support for items designated as Brand Name Only.

• The document covers recurring, catalog-driven supplies identified as Brand Name NSNs.

• These NSNs are established based on operational, technical, or interoperability requirements determined by requiring activities.

• Procurements may be executed under various contract types and ordering methods.

• The estimated value for the current SCMCD Brand Name NSN portfolio is based on FY25 spend levels, totaling $51,902,297.31. A 10-year projection with a 3% compounded inflation factor estimates a total of $595,001,672.35.

• Procurements will be conducted in accordance with FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Items) and GSAR 538.71 (Ordering procedures for Federal Supply Schedules).

• Competition is maximized at the order level by soliciting quotes from multiple authorized distributors or resellers.

• Pricing is determined to be fair and reasonable through competition and price analysis.

• A continuously open Request for Information (RFI) on SAM.gov since April 2024 invites industry to propose alternate items.

• This justification is for "Other Than Full and Open Competition" based on statutory authorities (10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) or 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1)) and FAR 6.103-1(a) and FAR 6.103-1(d).

• Brand name designations are established by requiring activities based on technical review, field validation, safety, interoperability, or mission-critical use.

• The specific NSNs covered are fluid and dynamic, subject to change based on requirements.

• GSA aims to streamline procurement processes and reduce administrative burden through this division-wide justification.

• Efforts are made to promote competition within the brand-name restriction by soliciting from multiple authorized sources and through the continuous RFI process.
