Justification Review Document (FAR Part 13)

This document provides the justification for using simplified procedures for a sole-source procurement of Baldor Reliance submersible motors for Submersible Traveling Screens (STS) at the Lower Monumental Lock and Dam, operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Walla Walla District. The procurement is for maintenance of the STS Fish Screens.

• Procurement of six (6) 5 HP Baldor Reliance brand Submersible Motors (part# SUM70506).

• Motors must be compatible with existing speed reducers and mounting locations on the STS screens.

• Delivery required within 18 weeks of contract award.

• Contract Type: Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) supply contract.

• Estimated Value: $54,054.

• Funding Source: Operations and Maintenance (O&M) funding.

• This is a justification for a sole-source award, not a solicitation for proposals.

• However, the Contracting Officer will publish notices required by FAR 5.201 on SAM.GOV, and any received quotes will be considered.

• Market research indicates multiple vendors for Baldor Reliance brand-name motors, suggesting adequate competition among small businesses for this specific brand.

• The government will synopsize this action on SAM.GOV to improve small business access to acquisition information and enhance competition.

• The existing motors are Baldor Reliance brand, and their non-standard housing is critical for mating with existing speed reducers.

• Using an alternative brand would require significant structural frame modification, estimated at $102,631 for all six units, and would incur recurring costs for future maintenance.

• The brand-name procurement is estimated to save approximately $48,577 compared to modification costs.

• Previous purchases of these motors have been made over the last five years, with pricing increases noted.
