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, Upper Colorado Basin Region, Acquisition Management Division

2. Name and Address of Single Source ATMAX Equipment Co.

6902 East 7th Ave.

Tampa, FL 33619

3. Description of Supplies/Services and Estimated Cost Manufacturer: ATMAX Equipment Co. (ATMAX) Model: MowerMax Boom Attachment Twin Saw (90-in, 90-deg Articulating Knuckle)

4. Description of Circumstances, including why only one source is reasonably available

IAW FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(ii), ATMAX is the only reasonable source available to provide the

MowerMax Boom attachment since ATMAX is the sole manufacturer and distributer of

MowerMax products. Mower attachments are designed to be compatible with specific manufacturer models or series of mowers due to the attachment interfacing directly with the mower’s power and proprietary mounting system.

5. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Price

IAW FAR 13.106-3(a)(2)(i) and (ii) the price is considered fair and reasonable based on market research and historical purchases.

6. Description of Market Research The market research performed by the government’s technical expert verifies that ATMAX is the sole manufacturer and provider for the MowerMax Boom Attachment.

Additional market research conducted by the Contract Specialist in November 2025 included a search of the internet to find other mower attachments and Reclamation’s historical purchases of similar product. There are several companies that sell mower attachments but none of them are compatible with MowerMax. Since the government already owns a MowerMax it has been determined that only ATMAX can meet all the government requirements.
