JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL ANDOPEN COMPETITION

The information herein is provided pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.501(a)(2)(i) and Federal Bureau of Prisons Acquisition Guidance Document 06-006. The Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) has determined the procurement for sewage pumps meets the criteria established for other than full and open competition. It is further determined that only one responsible source and no other supplies will satisfy the agency requirement. This limitation on competition is justified as supported by the following information in accordance with FAR Part 6.303-2:

1. Agency/Contracting Activity:

Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Loretto, Pennsylvania

Nature and or description of action:

This action is for the acquisition of four each Fairbanks-Nijhuis Model 5741C Rotating Assemblies.

3. Description of supplies or services including estimated value:

This action is for the acquisition of four (4) each Fairbanks-Nijhuis Model 5741C Rotating Assemblies complete with impellers, impeller wear rings, front head/casing wear rings, Chesterton 422 mechanical seals with spiral trac bushing and coupling. The estimated aggregate value of this requirement is $158,000.00.

4. Statutory authority:

This action is being conducted under authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901 as implemented in FAR 13.501(a)(ii). The applicable exception permitting the use of the cited authority is provided specifically at FAR 13.106-1(b)(2).

5. Reason for authority cited:

These assemblies are direct replacements for the current sewage treatment plant assemblies. Deviating from these assemblies would add significant cost to adapt another brand/assembly. The limited space in the working area restricts what size/design will adapt to the existing piping and mounts. This assembly will fit exactly the way as intended with no additional fabrication needed. Fairbanks-Nijhuis sells their equipment through territorial distributers. W.C. WeiI Company of Allison Park, Pennsylvania is the local distributor.

6. Efforts to obtain competition:

The specification contained in the requirement limits the equipment to be supplied. In accordance with FAR 13.501(a)(iii), this justification will be included with publicized award notification.
