LSJ - HeatBath_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Micro-Purchase Threshold (MFR) Limiting Competition under Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) form for the U.S. Army Contracting Command at Rock Island Arsenal. The procurement is for HeatBath (Dubois Chemicals) to supply two chemical products: CLIN 0001 - Penetrate Ultra Liquid (1 Drum) and CLIN 0002 - PX-5 Liquid (1 Drum), with a fixed-price contract vehicle under Purchase Order Number W519TC25Q270. The procurement is justified as a sole-source action due to the proprietary chemistry of the Penetrate Ultra Liquid, which is the only chemistry JMTC uses to apply a black oxide finish to steel, and replacing it would require significant research and development. The contract is being awarded under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, with brand name buy approved, and the contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable.
