Other / Unclassified

This document is a "Memorandum for the File" detailing a determination that only one source is reasonably available for a FAR Part 13 acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold. It outlines the background, description of the item/service, and the basis for the sole-source determination.

This document explains why the government intends to procure specific chemicals (AWC-102 Ultra, AWC C-234, and AWC Cleanflux Bio) from a single source. The chemicals are essential for the maintenance and cleaning of membrane treatment systems, and using them is required to meet performance criteria and warranty conditions. The determination is based on the "Brand Name" requirement, as these chemicals are specified by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the system. Failure to use these specific chemicals could lead to significant costs for the government due to membrane cartridge failure. This information is relevant to potential bidders as it clarifies the rationale behind a non-competitive procurement for these specific items.
