This is a justification and approval for restricting competition for commercial products and services. The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Rock Island District, is seeking approval to award a firm-fixed-price contract for brand-name-only Lubell Labs, Inc. LL **** HP underwater acoustic transducers. These transducers are essential for the Brandon Road Interbasin Project (BRIP) due to extreme environmental hazards and demanding performance specifications. The government requires 280 units. The contract will be fully funded using FY2023 appropriations. The justification for restricting competition is based on extensive research and testing by USACE's Engineering Research and Development Center (ERDC), which determined that only the specified brand name item meets the unique combination of extreme durability and specific acoustic performance required. The transducers must operate continuously in hostile conditions, withstand impacts from debris, and resist corrosion. They must also deliver a powerful, targeted acoustic signal to deter invasive species. The estimated cost of replacing a single failed unit is significant, requiring river closure and specialized teams. Amendments have been issued to update specifications, add testing requirements, and extend the quote receipt date.
The bid notice does not explicitly state a delivery deadline for the transducers. However, amendment **** extended the due date for receipt of quotes to May 15, 2026.
Amendment **** provides additional information regarding the evaluation criteria, but the specific criterion is not detailed in the provided text.
