JUSTIFICIATION AND APPROVAL FOR SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITIONS

l. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1 (b)(1), I hereby determine that the brand name purchase listed on XXXXXX is the only instrument that meets the laboratory's requirements. There are no substitutes available.

2. This acquisition is restricted to a brand name only.

Product: Synthetic Biology Research as a requirement for a researcher to investigate the use of synthetic biology to design bioenabled materials for sensing, environmental processing, sustainable cementing materials and development of novel sense and respond materials.

3. The contract is estimated to cost and is required to be purchased by

4. The contractor shall investigate the use of synthetic biology to design bioenabled materials for sensing, environmental processing, sustainable cementing materials and development of novel sense and respond materials. Research efforts include synthetic biology approaches involving microorganisms, the ability to work with and modify DNA and proteins, generate bioenabled materials that bind and detect metals/chemicals/biologicals, engineer novel synthetic chassis that can secrete cement binder materials and develop microorganisms where electromagnetic fields (EMF) can trigger spore germination trigger.

5. Check and fill in all that are applicable:

X The material or service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems presently installed.

Any reports towards Research efforts include synthetic biology approaches involving microorganisms, the ability to work with and modify DNA and proteins, generate bioenabled materials that bind and detect metals/chemicals/biologicals, engineer novel synthetic chassis that can secrete cement binder materials and develop microorganisms where electromagnetic fields (EMF) can trigger spore germination trigger.

X A patent, copyright, proprietary data or licensing agreement limits competition. The proprietary data are described as follows:
