Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate):

Bay Shellfish is the only shellfish hatchery within Florida that maintains permits to hold and spawn bay scallops (Argopecten irradians). They are the only commercial hatchery in Florida that has produced bay scallops. We cannot use hatcheries outside of Florida because only bay scallops from Florida can be used for restoration purposes.
