This document is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source issued by the Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration. The notice states the intent to sole source the production of FK-800 Copolymer up to 32,000 pounds to 3M Company. 3M has been the only qualified source for the production of this material, which has been used by the government as a bonding agent for various explosive materials. The authority for this sole source determination is cited as 41 USC 3304(a)(1) and FAR Subpart 6.302-1, which allows for a sole source award when there is only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency's requirements.
