DETERMINATION TO SOLICIT FROM A SINGLE SOURCE

Pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), for purchases not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) Contracting Officers may solicit from only one source if the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source is reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, or industrial mobilization).

Pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(ii), when a single source is identified to provide a portion of the purchase as a Brand-Name, the documentation in paragraph 3 must state that this determination is only for a portion of the requirement.

1. Agency and Contracting Activity. U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation

Denver Office Acquisitions

2. Name and Address of Single Source. ZNET Tech, LLC, 4827 Rugby Ave, suite 401, Bethesda, MD 20814

3. Description of Supplies/Services and Estimated Cost.

Reclamation requires the ability to take highly accurate dimensional reading of three-dimensional parts to ensure parts meet requirements set forth in specifications. The metrology table will allow ease of setup, storage, and scanning of components. The 8-axis turntable will allow for continuous measurements while scanning complex geometry. The combination of these two accessories with the existing equipment the FARO Quantum S 1.5m Arm, will enable engineers to reverse engineer precise components without introducing error prone digital processes.

Estimated cost: $15,650

4. Description of Circumstances, including why only one source is reasonably available.

This equipment are accessories to existing equipment of the same manufacturer purchased in 2019 (see contract in separate file). To ensure proper function and compatibility with the existing scanner and program, it is requested that this be purchased as a sole-source. Per FARO Technologies, ZNet Tech is their authorized and exclusive GSA (schedule 47QTCA18D003S) small business reseller under FARO Technologies products and services.

5. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Price.

Pricing received from vendor.

6. Description of Market Research.

Parts specifically made to guarantee function and compatibility with existing Reclamation-owned FARO equipment.
