    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Arctic District Office (ADO), initiates a request for an award under other than full and open competition for the procurement of YSI, Inc. multi-parameter water quality sondes and probes. The equipment is essential for maintaining a consistent aquatic monitoring network in areas undergoing oil and gas exploration. The existing YSI 6600-V2 sondes, purchased in 2008, are now out of support as of December 2021 and need upgrading to the next generation EXO2 sondes to ensure continued data collection for environmental monitoring. The justification for this sole-source procurement leans on the necessity for standardized data collection, interchangeability of parts, and pre-existing training for staff on YSI equipment. The request outlines specific equipment requirements and identifies several vendors capable of supplying the YSI products. The contracting officer will determine cost fairness before award, and further market research is advised to potentially overcome barriers to competition in future acquisitions. The document emphasizes the urgency of the acquisition to sustain environmental monitoring efforts and ensure the BLM’s operational efficiency.
