JA SHORT FORM Water Tank Repairs_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Contracting Officer's Determination Memorandum for a Sole Source Purchase for a one-time service contract to repair a Water Storage Tank at Letterkenny Munitions Center. The repairs are critical for fire suppression system compliance and safety, addressing urgent maintenance needs identified in April 2021 and January 2025 inspections. Required repairs include cleaning and lubricating moving parts, calibrating the unit, installing a compliant access ladder, replacing heater elements, installing a gidgee mixing system, cleaning interior seams, and addressing up to 3" of sediment.

The contract is valued under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), with an estimated amount not exceeding $10,000 for supplies. The procurement is justified under Unusual and Compelling Urgency, as the Water Storage Tank is essential for fire protection, and any delay could compromise safety, increase catastrophic fire hazards, or potentially lead to regulatory violations. The sole source purchase is necessary to maintain the continuity of operations and prevent potential facility shutdowns at the Letterkenny Munitions Center.
