WBR_1413_106-1__Determination_to_solicit_from_a_single_source_Redacted_1.pdf

This is a sole source justification document related to Federal Contract Opportunity 140R8123Q0132 for 7G GPS base station and rover equipment from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation. The justification document proposes procuring the equipment from a single manufacturer, Trimble, due to the need for compatibility with existing Trimble systems already in use by the agency. The Bureau of Reclamation requires the 7G GPS equipment for surveying and GIS mapping activities to support its water resource management and infrastructure projects. A sole source procurement is deemed necessary to avoid the costs of integrating equipment from other manufacturers that would not be interoperable with Trimble systems the agency has already invested in previously. The justification provides details on the existing Trimble equipment in use and the compatibility issues that would arise from choosing another manufacturer. The contract would be for an initial one year period with four additional one year option periods.
