DETERMINATION TO SOLICIT FROM A SINGLE SOURCE

(SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES)

CONTRACT: _F8Y36J5120A001_____________________

1. FAR 13.106-1(b) states that contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source to be reasonably available.

2. I determine only one source to be reasonably available based one of the following circumstances as described by FAR 6.302:

Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy Agency requirements.

Unusual and compelling urgency

Industrial mobilization

International agreement

Authorized or required by statute

National security

Public interest

3. Kennedy Industries is Flygt’s authorized sales, maintenance repair and service distributor in Lower Michigan for Flygt products. The pump that is currently in place is a Flygt pump, by replacing it with a Flygt pump it can use the same pump base, concrete stand and piping. By using the same pump base it will use the same bolt pattern and no piping would have to be changed to bolt in the new pump. Also with Kennedy doing the installation the base gets a 1 year warranty on the pump.

4. Note that this determination satisfies the requirements of FAR 13.106-1(b) & FAR 13.106-

3(b)(3)(i). The requirement to prepare a written justification IAW FAR 6.303 does not apply to purchases using simplified acquisition procedures.
