III. THE DETERMINATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING: (select all that apply):

A. ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE (select all that apply):

1. RESTRICTIVE RIGHTS

The source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights or secret processes in the item or service required.

Explain what rights are restricted, why the restrictive rights make the required item or service available from only one source, and why another company could not satisfy the Government’s need.

2. EXCLUSIVE LICENSING AGREEMENTS

The item or service is only available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), or there is only one authorized distributor or technical representative for the OEM.

Explain the circumstances surrounding why the item or service is only available from the manufacturer or service provider.

OR

Provide evidence of the exclusive licensing agreement as an attachment to this document.

NOTE: If there is more than one distributor/authorized technical representative for an OEM part, then Part B, BRAND NAME SOLE SOURCE, is applicable, and Part A, ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE, should be left blank.

3. OTHER REASONS

Other reason not identified above. Provide details on mission impact if requirement is not solicited from only one source.

B. BRAND NAME

Item required must be a brand name product, or feature of a product, particular to one manufacturer.

Discuss why you are precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company. Describe how the particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to the Government’s requirements and why a “brand name or equal” purchase description cannot be used (see FAR 11.104). Describe how 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.

We found that Onsrud solid carbide bits provide us with the best performance in our manufacturing processes. They also deliver the best wear and endurance that aren't seen in other bits saving us both money and time ordering additional bits that will not last as long.

The DLC582472 bit is a custom size bit for us to cut the proper size gasket channels in the material we are manufacturing.

Onsrud 60-113MW is used to cut the vacuum channels to the proper size.

Onsrud 60-020 is used to cut the perimeter and bevels cost effectively and efficiently as possible.

Onsrud 60-020 0.75" diameter, 2.125" length of cut, 5" overall length, solid carbide high helix hogger.

C. UNUSUAL AND COMPELLING URGENCY

The supplies or services are of such unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits bids or proposals. Urgent requirements are supplies or services that will result in a work stoppage, or are mission critical and the routine processing time would result in injury to the Government. The determination that the procurement for the above item/service is an urgent and compelling requirement is based on the following:

1. Date on which the requirement was first identified: _______________________________

2. Explanation of why delivery/commencement of services by the date mentioned above is required:

Explain the impact to the mission if the date above is not met, any special circumstances or conditions that exist which validate the requirement as “urgent,” estimated production lead time for the item, etc.

3. If appropriate, include any additional pertinent information.
