This document is a Direct Award Posting and Justification Form from the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation for a one-time purchase of a replacement motor for a Muffin Monster wastewater grinder. The procurement is for a specific motor from JWC Environmental, which is the sole manufacturer and inventor of the Muffin Monster equipment. The direct award is justified because competition is not available from any other source, and JWC Environmental holds numerous patents and trademarks for these products. The procurement is for a single replacement motor priced at $19,945.72, with delivery requested as soon as possible (ASAP).

The vendor, JWC Environmental, is certified as the exclusive manufacturer of Muffin Monster grinders and related equipment, with DAS Group Inc. identified as their exclusive distributor for the state of West Virginia. The motor being purchased is a 7T Cam Cutters model with specific technical specifications, including a new 5HP TEPX motor, a 29:1 reducer, and an epoxy green paint finish. The procurement is being conducted as a one-time purchase that will run from the issuance of the Award Document until all contracted goods have been delivered, not to extend beyond one fiscal year. The contract includes standard state procurement terms, with funding contingent on legislative appropriations and availability of funds.
