2. NATURE AND/OR DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTION BEING APPROVED:

This justification authorizes the use of other than full and open competition for the procurement of Well Completion Kits particular to one manufacturer, Laibe Corporation (Cage Code: 4N8X6). The subject requirement will be solicited under the simplified acquisition procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13.5, for kits designed to complete drilled wells for production. The solicitation will be posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) and will be synopsized in Contract Opportunities (https://beta.sam.gov/). The resultant award will be a firm-fixed price contract.

3. A DESCRIPTION OF THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED TO MEET THE

AGENCY’S NEEDS INCLUDING AN ESTIMATED DOLLAR AMOUNT:

Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) has a requirement to obtain Well Completion Kits to transform previously drilled wells into producing wells. The required kits, which are particular to a single manufacturer, are as follows:

Item Description: Well Completion Kit National Stock Number (NSN): 3820-01-618-2477 Manufacturer/Supplier Part Number: Laibe Corporation (Cage Code: 4N8X6) (Part Number D401320) Quantity: 7 Kits

The kits incorporate all steps for well completion including casing, cementing, perforating, gravel packing and installing a production tree. The Well Completion Kit works with Laibe’s Well Pump Kit, which contains the actual water pumps, motors, etc. The Laibe Well Completion Kit is currently the only product that works seamlessly with the Laibe Well Pump Kit.

The estimated unit price is per Kit. The estimated total dollar value of the acquisition is interoperability, and packaging, another vendor could jeopardize the intent of the Army in establishing the kit.

Laibe Corporation’s kit is unique in its proprietary set of components and packaging designed specifically to meet the Army’s requirement and work seamlessly with the Laibe Well Pump kit. There are no other vendors to support this requirement without extensive development and testing in consultation with the Army. The Laibe Well Completion Kit is essential to the Government’s requirements. Additionally, due to the highly specialized nature of the equipment, it is likely that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements. As the OEM, Laibe is the only source currently capable of meeting DLA’s needs. Other than full and open competition is justified.

7. DETERMINATION BY THE CONTRACTING OFFICER THAT THE

ANTICIPATED COST TO THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE FAIR AND REASONABLE:

As the Contracting Officer, I hereby determine the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. It is anticipated that the Government will use various price analysis techniques in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b)(2), including, but not limited to comparison to historical prices paid by another branch of the military (Army) and prices obtained through market research for commercial items available to the public.
