SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITON PROCEDURES (SAP)

Justification for Brand Name and or Sole Source Acquisitions Over $3,500 but not Exceeding The Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT)

SOLICITATIONS MAY BE LIMITED TO ONE SOURCE ONLY IF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER DETERMINES THAT ONLY ONE SOURCE IS REASONABLE AVAILABLE. THIS DETERMINATION MUST BE SUPPORTED WITH FULL JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE FROM THE CUSTOMER. WHEN THE CUSTOMER DESCRIBES AN ITEM WITH A PURCHASE DESCRIPTION, WHICH LIMTS THE AVAILABILITY TO ONE SOURCE, THE JUSTIFICATION MUST EXPLAIN WHY THE ITEM IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL MEET THE GOVERNMENTS REQUIREMENT. STATEMENTS SUCH AS “ONLY KNOWN SOURCE” OR “ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN MEET THE REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE “ARE INADEQUATE TO SUPPORT A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE THE

CUSTOMER SHALL PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

1. PURCHASE REQUEST OR REQUISITION NUMBER 2. PROJECT/TASK NUMBER 3. ESTIMATED AMOUNT

4. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE.

Requesting a brand-name sole source. Procure qty. 1 Flexicon branded tip-tite drum dumping system, Model# DDT-C2SE-P048-X with supporting stainless steel roller conveyor, Part#RCGF-S060N-X. This is to replace an existing system.

5. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTIC THAT LIMIT AVIALIABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED. MOST RECENT MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED (INCLUDE DATES & DETAILS). IF MARKET RESEARCH WAS NOT

CONDUCTED, EXPLAIN.

Flexicon Drum Dumper and conveyor are already in use to unload 55-gallon drums of Ammonium Perchlorate that is then conveyed by screw conveyor 40' long in two sections to the screening operation as a sealed system. The equipment is a direct replacement of equipment already in use. Any other source would jeopardize the equipment compatibility and increase building downtime and require more funding. No market research was completed since it needs to be a direct replacement.

6. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES. COMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING SYSTEM, IF APPLICABLE, & NON-CONPATIBILITY COULD RESULT IN EXCESSIVE ADDITIONAL MANUFACTURING AND/OR

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS.

This name brand source selection is for a direct replacement. Only Flexicon Drum Dumper and Conveyor as described above, will work in the current MCAAP equipment. Several items have been designed and fabricated around this system. If substitution of another brand was awarded it would cost MCAAP extra money for retrofitting and extended downtime.

7. EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL AND OPEN

COMMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

This name brand source selection is for a direct replacement. Only Flexicon Drum Dumper and Conveyor as described above, will work in the current MCAAP equipment. Several items have been designed and fabricated around this system. If substitution of another brand was awarded it would cost MCAAP extra money for retrofitting and extended downtime. There are 8 Flexicon drum dumping systems in use across MCAAP. This allows us to keep a standard set of replacement parts and eliminates confusion caused by having different equipment performing similar tasks.

8. PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIER TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED. IF THIS IS A FOLLOW-ON ACTION TO A PREVIOUSLY COMPETED ACTION, SO STATE.
