About this file
This is an Item Peculiar to One Manufacturer justification document (Identification Number: West-JA26-015) submitted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Texas division under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.
The acquisition seeks to procure two Fuji Electric FSC-4 Portaflow-C Kits for 2 to 48 inch pipes (Manufacturer #FSC4-KIT2) and two Dakota NDT ZX3 Thickness Gauges (Manufacturer #Z-302-001), along with unlimited lifetime technical support via phone. The justification for sole-source procurement under FAR 16.507-7 (Items Peculiar to One Manufacturer) is based on compatibility requirements with existing field equipment and systems. USDA-NRCS Texas has historically utilized Fuji authorized distributors for these specific ultrasonic flow meter kits and thickness gauges, and procurement of alternative manufacturer equipment would create incompatibility issues and compromise current and future projects. Three suggested sources are listed: Mitchell Instrument, Co. (Vista, CA); Instrumart, LLC (S. Burlington, VT); and Instrumentation2000.com/Industrial Process Measurement, Inc. (Edison, NJ). Market research was conducted through GSA Advantage searches, which failed to identify the specific brand and model combination required, and open-market quotes were obtained and included with the purchase order documentation. Both technical/requirements personnel and the Contracting Officer have certified that the requirement meets the Government's minimum need and that supporting documentation is complete and accurate.
