5. Reason for Authority Cited: As described in FAR 13.501(a)(1)(i), the Contracting Officer may conduct sole source acquisitions (including brand name) only if the need to do so is justified in writing and approved at the levels specified in FAR 13.501(a)(2).

The Houghton Hocut 795-H Heavy Duty Machinery and Grinding Fluid is a proven fluid for the factory and has been utilized with zero down time and zero interferences with RIA-JMTC machines since 2005. Hocut 795-H fluid is proprietary to Houghton.

This fluid has been approved/authorized for use by Rock Island Arsenal Industrial Hygiene, Rock Island Arsenal Medical Facility, and Rock Island Arsenal Safety since 2015 when the fluid was tested amongst other fluids at that time.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: ACC-RI shall publish the notices required by FAR

5.201. Because this action will be competed among brand name distributors of Houghton products (there are approximately distributors within the U.S.), the Government anticipates receiving effective competition. No subcontracting opportunities are available.
