About this file
This is a Department of Navy (DON) Single Source Justification document for a Simplified Acquisition procurement for Steam Tracer Flow Rate Measurements at the Coso geothermal field. The Navy Geothermal Program Office (GPO) at the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake requires a single-source contract for follow-on requirements to previous geothermal research contracts, specifically to continue using a proprietary analysis method developed since 1995. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 541380 for Water Monitoring, with a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contract structure.
The proposed contract will have a base year plus four option years, totaling five calendar years, with each period lasting one calendar year. The justification for single-source procurement is based on the contractor being the only known vendor in the geothermal industry capable of providing the specific steam mass flow rate analysis services. The analysis involves collecting samples at each site, performing kph (thousand pounds per hour) measurements, compiling a detailed report, and submitting results to the GPO within 30 days of sample collection. The continuity of this specialized analysis method is critical to maintaining comparable results for stakeholders.

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.
