| Brand Name Sole Source Justification | Naval Aviation Schools Command intends to send 260 students to the University of West Florida (UWF). Approximately 180 students will attend UWF’s Data Science Certification Program and approximately 80 students will attend UWF’s Supply Logistics Certification Program. The instant action is associated with Educational Service Agreement (ESA) # N0018923GZ008, a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) under which NASC processes tuition payments for NASC students attending courses at UWF to support and supplement their on-the-job military education. The instant acquisition is a brand name sole source procurement. While there are several vendors capable of providing the specific books required by the University for each class, only the specific book titles and edition with matching International Standard Book Numbers (ISBN), mentioned above, will satisfy the requirement. The professor at the university determines the textbooks for each class, and there are no substitutes allowed. In keeping with commercial practice, colleges have the prerogative to dictate required course books and materials applicable to students attending courses. The Navy students attending courses at UWF are required to conform to the expectations placed on all other students attending the school; therefore, exceptions in textbook requirements cannot be made for the Navy in this instance. The four (4) publishers listed previously represent the brand name contractors for the required textbooks. |
| Certifications and Representations | Quoters are advised to include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offerors Representations and Certifications – Commercial Items, with their submission as well as any other provisions within the solicitation that identify vendor input. If any other provisions are completed within the firm’s SAM.gov entity registration, the firm should note as much in their quote. |
