About this file
This is a Brand Name Only Justification for other than full and open competition submitted by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), A12 Northwest Region.
The document justifies a single-source procurement for twenty 250-gallon totes of Teton Herbicide for the Fort Hall Irrigation Project (FHIP), identified as Purchase Request Number 44040406 and J&A Control Number JA26-00154. The requirement is for a new acquisition using firm-fixed pricing. Timothy Gardner, Project Manager, is the originating office contact. The justification cites FAR 6.103-1 (Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services) as the statutory authority for the other than full and open competition action. Teton Aquatic Herbicide is deemed the only EPA non-restricted herbicide containing the active ingredient Sodium Salt of Endothall, specifically required to control algae and pond weeds during the critical April-October irrigation season. Delays in applying Teton Aquatic Herbicide could negatively impact water flow and result in significant tort claims against the government due to inadequate irrigation performance. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable based on the expectation of receiving competitive quotations under IAW FAR 12.204(a). Market research indicated multiple vendors are capable of providing the product, and the requirement will be set-aside for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) vendors in accordance with Department of Interior policy. The justification will be posted publicly as a combined synopsis and solicitation under IAW FAR 5.102(a)(6). Future market research will be conducted to minimize the risk of utilizing brand name actions in subsequent acquisitions.
