Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: 105th Contracting Purchase Request/ Identification Number:

F9D4MG6254AW01

Project/Program Name: PFOA/PFOS Drinking Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

$40,000.00

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

Provide analytical services utilizing EPA Method 537 for analysis for PFOA and PFOS

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source

This is a time sensitive base wide drinking water assessment to identify potential contamination from PFAO and PFOS which have established health advisory limitations by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and also have known adverse health effects. Due to the nature of this request and its time sensitivity, this project will be considered a emergency sole source requirement. We are unable to determine at this time if the on-base drinking water is safe to consume by our members. The water must be tested immediately and we need the test results back as soon as possible to determine if the drinking water is safe for consumption by our personnel.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Due to the nature of this request and its time sensitivity, this project will be considered a emergency sole source requirement. We are unable to determine at this time if the on-base drinking water is safe to consume by our members. The water must be tested immediately and we need the test results back as soon as possible to determine if the drinking water is safe for consumption by our personnel.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source Awards

Provide a statement of actions to be taken by the requiring activity to preclude the necessity for future sole source acquisition of the same supplies/services (e.g., conducting a market survey to determine potential future sources).

Requirement will be posted on FedBizOps if further testing is required.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
