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, Columbia-Pacific Northwest Region (CPN).

2. Name and Address of Single Source. Biomark LLC; 705 S 8th Street Boise, ID 83702

3. Description of Supplies/Services and Estimated Cost. The supplies needed are 5500 feet of Biomark antenna cables, 22 Biomark IS1001 readers, and 2 Biomark IS1001 master controllers.

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

Biomark IS1001’s are the only boards on the market used in conjunction with PIT antennas to scan, store, and transmit PIT tag data. The boards are only produced by Biomark currently.

Biomark IS1001 Master Controllers are a variation of the standalone IS1001 board that allows it to control up to 12 other IS1001 boards/antennas. These are currently only produced by Biomark.

Reclamation is procuring these supplies in support Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) who needs the supplies for their work with fish recovery. ODFW currently employs master controllers throughout the state at other antenna sites. CANBUS cable from Biomark is a 4-conductor shielded cable that is currently in use by ODFW. ODFW already uses a Biomark monitoring system, and the new supplies need to be consistent with the existing system. The consistency will allow for different antenna sites to maintain identical setup.

5. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Price. It is anticipated that the cost of the supplies will be found to be fair and reasonable. The basis for this determination will be comparison of proposed costs/prices with costs/prices for similar supplies, technical evaluations, or any other applicable price analysis techniques.

6. Description of Market Research. Market research was conducted by looking at mandatory and established source databases and open market source databases and there was no availability. The supplies needed are only sold by the manufacturer and they remain the only source for the product.
