## Description

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, Procurement Operations (PROPS), East Zone, CSA East 6, intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to A & A Sheet Metal Products (SECURALL) under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b).

**Requirement:** Acquisition of one (1) pre-fabricated Agri-Chemical storage container to be delivered and offloaded to a pre-existing concrete pad at the Mark Twain National Forest, Salem Ranger District. The structure will be utilized for the safe storage of US Forest Service tracer paint.

**Justification Details:** SECURALL is the Sole Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of this industrial unit. Sourcing from alternative providers is restricted due to technical and structural constraints:

**Foundation Match:** The existing concrete pad at the Salem RD compound was engineered, poured, and set to the exact structural layout specifications provided by SECURALL.

**Cost & Delay Avoidance:** Sourcing a different manufacturer would require physical demolition, structural modifications, or a complete re-pouring of the foundation pad, causing a substantial duplication of government costs and severe operational delays.

**Safety & Compliance:** The unit features a unique, heavy-gauge galvannealed double-wall steel system capable of withstanding winds up to 250 mph and includes a built-in 12-gauge liquid-tight continuously welded steel sump flooring system for secondary spill containment. This exact model satisfies specific EPA and OSHA-approved safety criteria required on-site. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals.

However, interested parties may submit a capability statement to the Contracting Officer within the posting period to be considered by the agency. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
