Quick Summary
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), specifically the WATER, TRIBAL & SCIENCE DIVISION, has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a sole source change order to Kynetec USA Inc. This action provides continued access to Agricultural Pesticide Usage Data via the FarmTrak/I-map database, essential for evaluating pesticide impacts under FIFRA. This is not a solicitation for proposals.
Scope of Work
This sole source change order will provide:
- Seven additional months of access to the FarmTrak database subscription (through May 2027).
- Two additional years of pesticide usage data (2024 and 2025).
- Access to all crops/all pesticide types database and historical data (1998-2025).

Evaluation
This document serves as a justification for a sole source award, citing statutory authority 41 U.S.C. 1901 and FAR 12.102(b). It is not a solicitation for proposals. The agency intends to publicize a notice of intent to award this sole-source contract extension to Kynetec.
Additional Notes
Kynetec is identified as the only responsible source capable of meeting the EPA's requirements for continuous and comparable pesticide usage data. Market research was conducted, and no other responsible sources were found. The original scope was reduced due to budget constraints, leading to the non-acquisition of the 2024 update and limited user access, which this change order addresses.
