A15 - Sole Source Documentation over MPT under SAT FAR PART 13 TruNarc Delta_Redacted.pdf

This is a Sole Source Documentation form (FAR Part 13) for purchase orders between $10,000 and $250,000, dated November 2022. The procurement is designated as a brand-name acquisition under DAC Number D-25-SF-0110 with a delivery date of December 31, 2025.

The required equipment consists of a Narcotics Analyzer TruNarc Delta with a 5-year warranty (model 800-07051-01) and a TruNarc Solution Kit Type H2V (model 810-03251-01). The TruNarc Delta is designed for field agents to safely test suspected controlled substances by identifying over 1200 substances and emerging threats without requiring package opening. During market research, the contracting office contacted three vendors: Thermo Scientific Portable Analytical Instruments Inc., Federal Resources Supply Company LLC/Noble, and Safeware. The contracting officer determined that only the specified brand-name item can satisfy the government's requirements, as multiple vendors carry previous models but the TruNarc Delta has updated library and improved features allowing recognition of over 1200 substances including emerging threats versus 500 with the TruNarc unlimited version. The officer certified that the order will only be placed if the price is determined fair and reasonable.
