This document is a Brand Name Justification Memorandum for the acquisition of Honeywell brand potentiometers for the (LCAC) Vehicle. It serves to justify limiting the acquisition to a specific brand due to unique requirements.

• Item: Potentiometer
• Part Number: 176FL2-230
• Quantity: 10
• Delivery: No later than thirty-six (36) weeks after award.

This justification indicates that the government intends to procure a specific brand of potentiometer (Honeywell) on a brand name basis. The rationale provided highlights the need for compatibility with existing LCAC inventory and flight control systems, citing specific technical requirements such as infinite resolution output, resistance to severe environmental conditions (MIL-STD-202 compliance), and system integration with electrical impedance, mounting footprint, and connector pinouts. The document also states that procuring an alternate manufacturer's potentiometer would require significant re-engineering, testing, and software updates, estimated to cost $500,000 and take 18 months. This implies that proposals for alternative, non-Honeywell potentiometers may not be considered or would face substantial hurdles. The acquisition will use simplified acquisition procedures, with a total dollar value not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold of $350,000.00.
