About this file

This is a Limited Sources Justification and Approval document for solicitation 140R8125Q0020 issued by the Department of Interior, Bureau of Reclamation's Acquisitions Operation Branch in Denver, CO. The document justifies a small business award under GSA contract to ZNet Tech LLC for FARO laser tracker accessories.

The purchase includes an 8-Axis rotary table with mounting hardware and marble metrology table to be used with Reclamation's existing FARO Quantum S 1.5m Arm. The specific items include an 8-Axis G6 Arm system with 250mm inspection plate, interface cable, mounting hardware and warranty; a 500mm part mounting plate; workholding kit; and a granite rolling cart. The sole source justification is based on the equipment being accessories to existing FARO equipment purchased in 2019, requiring the same manufacturer for compatibility. GSA has determined pricing is reasonable and lower than direct manufacturer pricing. The document is signed by Elzy Edwards as preparer and ConnieAnn A. Tudela-Kately as the Contracting Officer in December 2024.

4. Authority and Circumstance Justifying Limiting Sources (FAR 8.405-6(c)(2)(iv) and 8.405-6(c)(2)(xi)).

Authority Circumstance

☐ FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A) An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the procedures would result in unacceptable delays.

☒ FAR 8.405-6 (a)(1)(i)(B) Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized.

☐ FAR 8.405-6 (a)(1)(i)(C) In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order provided that the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original order or BPA must not have been previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures.

☐ FAR 8.405-6(b)(1) Brand name specifications shall not be used unless the particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to the Government’s requirements, and market research indicates other companies’ similar products, or products lacking the particular feature, do not meet, or cannot be modified to meet, the agency’s needs.

A. Proposed Contractor Name. ZNet Tech LLC

B. Rationale Supporting the Circumstance to Limit Sources This equipment are accessories to existing equipment of the same manufacturer purchased in 2019 (see contract in separate file). To ensure proper function and compatibility with the existing scanner and program, same manufacturer is required.

5. Best Value Determination (FAR 8.405-6(c)(2)(v)). GSA has already determined the prices of supplies reasonable on GSA Advantage. Price is less than pricing received directly from manufacturer.

6. Description of Market Research (FAR 8.405-6(c)(2)(vi)). Pricing received from manufacturer directly as well as small business reseller on GSA contract.
