SINGLE SOURCE DETERMINATION USING

SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP)

FOR AN ACTION NOT EXCEEDING THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

(AUTHORITY: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1))

1. Agency and contracting activity. Department of Commerce, NOAA. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations, Marine Operations Acquisitions Branch.

2. Description of supplies or services required to meet agency needs (including the estimated value).

Procure Mobil branded lube oils, approximate dollar value:

3. Identification of the single source or the brand name to be solicited.

Mobil Guard 312

4. Supporting rationale. Only one source or brand name is reasonably available as detailed below:

Brand Name –The Mobil 312 products are already in use on the vessel and it is not advisable for mechanical reasons to mix products once one product is already introduced in the system. The cost to the government for any mechanical failure that might result from lubrication problems would be increased by voiding any warranty or responsibility carried by Mobil for use of its products. Such voiding would occur if Mobil products are altered by mixture with any other substances.

5. Market Research This brand is available through multiple vendors.

6. Determination

I hereby determine that the circumstances of this action deem only one source is reasonably available. This determination is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
