1. Description of Requirement
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) intends to award a sole source contract for delivery of 50 cubic yards of 4500 psi ready mix concrete, including pump truck and operator support, to be used for the installation of six new concrete ramps at Jones Hole National Fish Hatchery (NFH).

This action is processed under RFO FAR 6.103-1, Only one responsible source.
Market research determined that only one responsible source can meet all delivery and performance requirements of this remote-site concrete delivery within the required timeframe.
Market Research Summary
Market research identified three regional suppliers:
¿ Suncore Construction and Materials, Inc. ¿ Can deliver to Jones Hole, has a pumper truck, and is SAM.gov registered.
¿ Burdick Materials ¿ Delivery possible, but lacks required pumper truck; not SAM.gov registered.
¿ Intermountain Concrete Co. ¿ Cannot deliver required volume to the site.
Technical Barriers to Competition
¿ Concrete hydration limits delivery feasibility to a 90-minute maximum transport window.
¿ Delivery to the remote Jones Hole NFH location requires appropriate additives and a pump truck.
¿ Only two vendors can reach the site; only one meets all performance and federal compliance requirements.
