WBR 1413.106-1 Template 1 (11/2020) made of the required poly mesh top material with compatibility to the Intralox series 1800 sprockets installed in the facility, due to the pitch diameter of the sprockets.

5. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Price.

This requirement will be solicited as a total small business set-aside. Although this is a brand name requirement, the manufacture will provide quotes to small business sources provided that they let the manufacturer know that the quote is for the Bureau of Reclamation. Fair and reasonable price will be based on competitive quotes IAW FAR13.106(a)(1).

6. Description of Market Research.

Market research revealed results from previous sole source purchases for the same or similar items (previous purchase orders: 140R2019P0020, 140R2021P0052 and 140R1722P0007). A sources sought notice was posted to the government point of entry for eight calendar days from 6/9/2022 - 6/16/2022 to identify any other mesh screen providers. There were no responses received as a result of this posting. One response was received via electronic mail and reviewed by the customer and determined to be technically unacceptable because the proposed screen was made of stainless steel and the Government requires nylon and plastic screens.

Any future acquisition to purchase replacement fish screens at the Burbank Pumping Plant or Chandler Power and Canal Facility will continue to be brand name, however the manufacture has agreed to allow resellers to offer the brand name product, provided they specify that the quote is for the Bureau of Reclamation and what project the screens are for.
