This document is a Sole Source Justification for the purchase of Electrofisher Backpacks by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service.

The USDA Forest Service intends to sole source the procurement to the Original Equipment Manufacturer, Smith-Root, under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) due to the items being available from only one source. The NAICS code is 335999 with a size standard of 1,000 Employees, and the PSC is 5999. This is a 100% Small Business set-aside. Delivery is requested within 30 days of order receipt, with early deliveries encouraged at no additional cost. The F.O.B. point is Destination, and inspection and acceptance will be performed at destination by the contractor. The agency will consider any responsible source quotations received by 12:00 PM CST on October 2, 2024, but the decision to compete the procurement is at the Government's discretion. Award will be based on a determination of fair and reasonable pricing.
