    The document outlines a determination to solicit services from Sequoia Scientific, Inc. for the calibration and repair of two LISST-Acoustic Backscatter Sensors used by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation for measuring suspended sediment concentrations in the Rio Grande. Due to the specialized nature of these instruments, only Sequoia has the expertise and authorization to conduct the required maintenance. The estimated cost for these services is $3,090, which has been deemed fair and reasonable. Market research confirmed that no other companies could fulfill this requirement, as responses from multiple small businesses indicated they either do not provide such services or were unresponsive. The period of performance for this contract is set for five months from the award date, emphasizing the urgency and need for reliable data collection in water management. The document assures compliance with federal acquisition regulations regarding sole-source procurement. Overall, this serves as a formal justification for the exclusive sourcing of services necessary for the Bureau's operational continuity.
