This document is a Contracting Officer's Determination Memorandum for a Sole Source Purchase for AQUAMAG (R) Magnesium Hydroxide Slurry, which will be used to neutralize hydrochloric acid at the Letterkenny Munitions Center (LEMC). The document justifies selecting AQUAMAG as the sole source product after a professional environmental study concluded it is the optimal solution for neutralizing hydrochloric acid effluents. Specifically, the purchase is for neutralizing corrosive and hazardous hydrochloric acid, with AQUAMAG determined to be more effective than alternative chemicals like sodium hydroxide. The procurement falls under the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), with an estimated amount not exceeding $10,000 for supplies, and is associated with the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal.
