Dear Madams:
It appears that the floor polishers 16” and 12” mostly used are
the brands Wilson and Floormate, respectively. That, over the years,
these brands have continually been purchased for being reliable yet
inexpensive. The same is true with the brand Makita insofar as angle
grinder 4” is concerned.
Few of the cited brands in said article are the following brand
names: Ping-pong, Jacuzzi, Jet Ski, Scotch tape, Band-Aids, and Xerox.

It is however the opinion of PGIN that, even if the brands for the
items identified in AOM No. 22 were bid, procured, purchased, and
paid, the government still obtained the most advantageous price from
interested qualified bidders/suppliers.
