About this file

This is a Department of Navy (DON) Single Source Justification document for a geothermal research contract. The Navy Geothermal Program Office at the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake requires Steam Tracer Flow Rate Measurements at the Coso geothermal field, which are follow-on measurements to previous contracts dating back to 1995. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 541380 for Water Monitoring, and will be a single award, Simplified Acquisition, Firm-Fixed Price contract with a base year and four option years, totaling 5 calendar years.

The contract justifies a single-source procurement based on the vendor's proprietary analysis method used consistently since 1995, which is critical for maintaining continuity and comparability of geothermal research data. The contractor will perform steam mass flow rate analysis in thousand pounds per hour for each sample collected, compile results into a report, and submit it to the Government Printing Office (GPO) within 30 days of sample collection. The total contract period is structured with a base year and four sequential one-year option periods, with each period having a one-calendar-year performance timeline.

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

COMPETITION IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING:

A. X 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.

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.

3. X OTHER REASONS.

The Government requires the same analysis method and procedure that has been used since 1995 to maintain accuracy of the analysis performed. It is a proprietary analysis method that the past Contractor has used, and therefore, the company is the only vendor known in the geothermal industry that can provide services that satisfy the follow-on requirement. The steam mass flow rates in kph (thousand pounds per hour) are analyzed for each sample collected at each site and an analysis is performed in the Contrac analysis results report and sent to the GPO within 30 days after sample collection. The continuity of this protocol is important to achieve results that are comparable to past results and acceptable to the stakeholders.

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

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. Required delivery date/period of performance:

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

4. If appropriate, include any additional pertinent information.
