    LIMITED SOURCE JUSTIFICATION PURSUANT TO FAR 13-AFD Panolin Grease.pdf
    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District, seeks approval for a Limited Source Justification to procure Shell Panolin S5 Grease EAL A600P 1 for Albeni Falls Dam, Idaho. This brand-name lubricant is required to replace incompatible petroleum products, adhering to environmental standards. The total estimated cost for the procurement is $25,439.28 for six 180kg drums. The justification cites that Shell Oil Products US is the sole known supplier of the desired brand, as extensive compatibility testing determined Panolin's grease is suitable for the existing greasing system used at the dam. Failure to use compatible lubricant could lead to extensive system purging and significant maintenance downtime, jeopardizing power generation. The document outlines a thorough year-long testing process conducted by the Hydroelectric Design Center, which confirmed Panolin Biogrease EP1’s compatibility, thus allowing for its exclusive procurement under FAR regulations. Market research indicates no other manufacturer produces the required product, cementing the need for this acquisition through a single source. The contracting officer certified the justification and determined the contract's cost as fair and reasonable, approving the procurement to ensure compliance and operational continuity at the dam.
