About this file
This is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Single Source Justification form for a sole source acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). The document justifies procuring G&R Controls services for geothermal system updates at the Detroit Lakes Wetland Management District. The agency indicates they are operating with unsupported software on an outdated platform and need to prevent a potential catastrophic event by updating their system. After searching for alternative providers, they determined G&R Controls is the only vendor capable of maintaining the system, which has been in operation since 2011. The form is digitally signed by Laurel Kullerud (Program/Project Officer) and Solmaz Salih (Contracting Officer), with approval dates in 2025, and certifies the cost is fair and reasonable given the single source nature of the acquisition.
