About this file
This is a Brand Name Only Justification document for the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Northwest Region (A12), control number JA26-00115, for a contract to procure Magnacide H aquatic herbicide for the Wapato Irrigation Project (WIP). The requirement involves delivery of seven skids containing 2,450 pounds each, totaling 17,150 pounds of Magnacide H aquatic herbicide before water season (April 15 to October 15). The contract is valued on a firm-fixed-price basis, with the estimated cost to the Government redacted. The purchase request number is 44038163, and the originating office contact is Nalyn Nash, Administrative Officer.
The justification authorizes other than full and open competition under FAA 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) because Magnacide H Herbicide is the only approved aquatic herbicide by the Tribal Yakama Nation Fisheries program on the Yakama Reservation, and Baker Hughes is the only manufacturer. The document notes that only two authorized distributors—Phoenix Environmental Design Inc. and Clearchannelvm, LLC—have been identified as capable of meeting the Government's needs. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable based on expectations of receiving competitive quotations and review of historical pricing data. No sources expressed written interest in the acquisition. The agency intends to conduct continued market research to identify alternative manufacturers' products for future acquisitions, potentially removing the need for brand name justifications in subsequent procurements. The document is signed by Contracting Officer Nancy Shah of Indian Affairs.
