WBR 1413.106-1 Template 1 (01/2019)

DETERMINATION TO SOLICIT FROM A SINGLE SOURCE

Pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), for purchases not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) Contracting Officers may solicit from only one source if the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source is reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, or industrial mobilization).

Pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(ii), when a single source is identified to provide a portion of the purchase as a Brand-Name, the documentation in paragraph 3 must state that this determination is only for a portion of the requirement.

1. Agency and Contracting Activity. U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Interior Region 10, 2800 Cottage Way, Sacramento, CA 95825.

2. Name and Address of Single Source.

Gandy-Staley Oil Co., Inc.

630 Eureka St.

Willows, CA 95988

3. Description of Supplies/Services and Estimated Cost.

The requirement is for the purchase of Regular unleaded, 87-octane, gasoline for the Government owned vehicle operated by the Stony Gorge Recreation Office.

The anticipated period of performance is for base year and four, 12-month option years beginning August 1, 2020, through July 31, 2025.

4. Description of Circumstances, including why only one source is reasonably available.

IAW FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(ii), the Gandy-Staley Oil Company, Inc. is the only available supplier of vehicle fuel services within an acceptable distance from the Stoney Gorge Reservoir. The ranger station is a remote site located at Stony Gorge Reservoir and the daily reporting site for BOR personnel. This ranger station is responsible for Stony Gorge Reservoir (Glenn County). The closest town to the ranger station, Elk Creek, is approximately 3 miles away from Stony Gorge. The Gandy-Staley Oil Company operates the only available fuel pumps in Elk Creek. The only other available fuel sources are in Stonyford, CA and Willows, CA which are 22 miles and 25 miles away respectively. Gandy- Staley does not accept GSA Fleet credit cards but does utilize a card lock system. A card lock system requires a unique card in order to dispense fuel and keep track of the usage. This system replaces the manual reconciliation of individual paper receipts as all usage is billed on a weekly or monthly basis. Utilizing the Gandy-Staley fuel station will fulfill the need and benefit the rangers by allowing them to fill the vehicle gas tanks within close proximity to their reporting site. Going to any other gas station would require Rangers to leave their patrol area of responsibility, jeopardizing the safety and welfare of the public and Reclamation employees.
