About this file
This document is a Determination to Solicit from a Single Source for a federal contract opportunity. The U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation is seeking a sole source procurement to replace two Accusonic Flow Meters at the Shoshone Power Plant. The justification states that Accusonic is the only brand compatible with the existing infrastructure, and the incumbent contractor has specialized knowledge of these flow meters, which would mitigate additional training costs. The estimated cost for the two flow meters with associated features is provided. The contracting officer determined this to be a fair and reasonable price based on market research indicating the items are not available through other sources like GSA or AbilityOne. This sole source determination is for a portion of the overall requirement, with the remainder to be competed.

DETERMINATION TO SOLICIT FROM A SINGLE SOURCE
Pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), for purchases not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) Contracting Officers may solicit from only one source if the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source is reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, or industrial mobilization).
Pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(ii), when a single source is identified to provide a portion of the purchase as a Brand-Name, the documentation in paragraph 3 must state that this determination is only for a portion of the requirement.
1. Agency and Contracting Activity. U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation.
2. Name and Address of Single Source. ACCUSONIC
3. Description of Supplies/Services and Estimated Cost. Bureau of Reclamation, Wyoming Area Office (WYAO) is seeking bid solicitation from contractors to supply the materials required for two Accusonic Flow Meters to replace the existing one that is experiencing intermittent failure at the Shoshone Power Plant.
i. PN 8510+04ACR6 Flowmeter (2 EACH) with 4-Path Flow Measurement Capability, NEMA 4X (IP66) Wall-Mounted Enclosure, 90-250 VAC, 47-63 Hz or 100-300 VDC External Power, 7.7-inch LCD Touchscreen Color Display, (8) Isolated 4-20 mA Analog Outputs, (6) Contact Relay Outputs for Alarming, Modbus Interface via RS-232, RS-485 or TCP/IP, 16 Gigabyte Internal Data Logging Storage, and AccuFlow™ PC-based Software Interface – Available for Download.
4. Description of Circumstances, including why only one source is reasonably available.
Line Item No. 1, If a flow meter brand other than Accusonic is purchased, it would require the installation of new probes at an additional cost and necessitate a costly modification to the Shoshone River Siphon. One site staff has extensive knowledge working on Accusonic Flow Meters which would mitigate any additional cost of training.

5. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Price. Determination will be made using comparison of proposed costs/prices and technical evaluation. FAR 13.106-3(a)(2)(i) to ((vii)
Description of Market Research. Market Research by the customer indicated this item could not be acquired through GSA Product Search. Contract Specialist market research found that Unicor, AbilityOne, and GSA Global did not provide the identified parts brand name. SBA Market Research showed several vendors with the identified NAICS code and resulted in a Total Small Business Set-Aside.
