SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION
For purchases made under FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures (Under $250,000)
Name and Location of the organization making the purchase:
Federal Highway Administration Quantum Park, 22001 Loudoun County Parkway Building E2, Suite 200 Ashburn, VA 20147
Describe supplies and/or services being procured:
Diagnostics of current Monitoring While Drilling (MWD) System on EFL Drill Rig and upgrade of the system, including software updates, installation of a new gateway for remote assistance and automatic report generation and replacement of deficient sensors.
Name and Contact Information of Required Source:
Jean Lutz North America 4370 Boardman-Canfield Rd.
Canfield, OH 44406
Rationale supporting the sole source acquisition (Authority under FAR 13.106-1(b)) :
Jean Lutz is a world leader in quality assurance monitoring for ground foundation and a provider of data monitoring systems including Monitoring While Drilling for geotechnical engineering purposes, which is a relatively new field. Jean Lutz have installed the original system currently in place. As such, they are familiar with our equipment and the drilling crew and are best positioned to conduct a diagnosis of their system and install required software updates and hardware upgrades. The expertise of Jean Lutz is critical in meeting the need to identify issues with the current system and upgrade it to current standards for optimal results, in a time efficient manner. No other source is known to us that can effectively diagnose the proprietary system in place and would likely, if found, require installation of a different system, which will be more costly to the government.
