About this file
This document is a Brand Name Only Justification for the Fort Hall Indian Irrigation Project (FHIP) Flowmeters. The Bureau of Indian Affairs requires McCreometer flow meters for the Fort Hall Indian Irrigation Project to record daily water flow into canals for the Shoshone Bannock Tribe and the State of Idaho Department of Water Resources. The procurement is being conducted as a non-competitive acquisition under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), with justification based on the project's current use of McCreometer flow meters and personnel's proficiency with this specific brand. Market research conducted through ISBEE vendors confirmed commercial availability, with 14 Indigenous business enterprises identified that could potentially provide a quote.
The justification highlights the time-sensitive nature of the procurement, as the water season has already started (April to October), and switching to an alternative flow meter would require retraining personnel and potentially disrupt irrigation of valuable crops. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable, based on the expectation of competitive quotations from qualified ISBEE sources. Future market research will continue to minimize brand-specific acquisitions, with the goal of identifying alternative manufacturers' products that could be utilized in subsequent procurements.
