CAO-25-0084 - FAR 13-5 JA - PLJS Spray Drying Redacted_Page_3.jpg

This document is a Sole Source Justification and Approval form under FAR 13.501 for the U.S. Army Contracting Command - New Jersey. The procurement seeks to acquire a Spray Dryer and Granulator from Division by Zero Labs (DBZ), located at 482 Jetway Drive, Unit D Belgrade, MT 59714, with a projected award date specified but redacted. The contract will be a fixed firm price (FFP) using specific funds, with a performance period of undisclosed months.

The justification for sole source procurement highlights that DBZ is the only vendor with specific knowledge and proven capabilities for spray drying, having successfully completed a Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase 1 contract. The document emphasizes that other potential vendors would require at least several additional months to replicate DBZ's capabilities and meet the government's requirements. The proposed contract aims to further develop a spray dryer with specific capabilities for laboratory conditions, including delivering a final report within Army specifications.
