Additional Notes
This procurement is justified as a "brand name" purchase due to the item being peculiar to Soderberg Mfg. Co. Inc., with market research indicating no other products meet agency needs. The technical data required to assess equal or alternate equipment is unavailable. The Contracting Officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through market research and comparison with previous purchases.
