The Tobyhanna Division of the Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground is issuing a sole-source contract to Nalco Water Ecolab Company for Nalco 7396, a water stabilization and corrosion control product. This requirement, valued below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, is for three 55-gallon drums with a shelf life of at least 10 months upon delivery. The justification for limiting competition is based on FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) due to Nalco 7396 being the only reasonably available source. Tobyhanna Army Depot's (TYAD) public water supply permit prohibits alternative products for corrosion control in their drinking water system. Using a non-compliant product or none at all would jeopardize TYAD's public water supply permit, impacting mission effectiveness and the provision of potable water to 32 off-post residents. Additionally, introducing other manufacturers' products poses safety hazards due to potential chemical incompatibilities. Market research confirms no other source can provide this material, and there is no National Stock Number (NSN).
