SINGLE SOURCE DETERMINATION USING

SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP) UNDER THE

SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD (SAT)

AUTHORITY: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) FAR 13.501 and FAR 6.302-1

140D0423Q0869

1. Contracting activity/agency. Department of the Interior, Interior Business Center, Acquisition Services Directorate, IHS.

2. Description of supplies or services required to meet agency needs. The following equipment needs to be installed on a New Holland Skid Steer:

550MNS New Holland Back-Hoe, item number: 509B 2022 year, reach: 9' 8", 18" bucket

3. Identification of the single source to be solicited.

Daran Tyson Watson Tractor

O: 505-327-5012 F: 505-325-1317

1380 San Juan Blvd.

Farmington, NM 87401 dtyson@watsontractor.net

4. Reason for authority cited. The contracting officer has determined the circumstances of the contract deem only one source reasonably available.

□ Urgency – The nature of the requirement has been deemed urgent and following competitive procedures would result in unacceptable delays.

□ Exclusive Licensing Agreement X Brand Name – The particular brand name is essential to the requirement and market research indicates similar products do not meet or cannot be modified to meet agency needs. If the justification is to cover only the portion of the buy which is brand name, then it should so state; the approval level requirements will then only apply to that portion.

□ Industrial Mobilization

□ Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy

Agency Requirements. 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1)

□ Authorized or Required by Statute. 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(5)

5. Rationale. The vendor will need to come to pick up the skid steer, install the back hoe and deliver it back to the facility. This limits the distance the vendor is from the IHS facility. In addition, the back hoe must be the New Holland brand equipment mailto:dtyson@watsontractor.net

(PR/SOL/CONTRACT #)__________________

listed above. If another brand name is used, the skid steer will require modifications to attach the equipment. This will increase the cost of this requirement, as well as limit the equipment that can be used on the skid steer in the future. Watson and Tractor is also the only provider of the NAICS code 811411 within 100 miles of the IHS facility.

6. Market Research. A Dynamic Small Business Search was conducted using NAICS

Code 811411. This search revealed 15 small businesses. The search was further broken down by socio-economic category based solely in New Mexico. A SBA quick search did not show any businesses in the desired zip code, so the search was extended to all of New Mexico. Since the skid steer will need to be picked up, installation completed and the skid steer returned, the mileage range for the business had to be reasonably close to the IHS facility. This led to the Sole Source Justification as Watson Tractor & Implement is the closest to the IHS facility who can provide under the NAICS code. Watson Tractor & Implement is registered as a Small Business. Based on the market analysis and the information above, it can be concluded there are enough sources available to set aside for Total Small Businesses.

7. Under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), the undersigned hereby determines the circumstances of this contract action deem only one source is reasonably available as supported herein.
