E-MAIL: Linda A. Ranow, Linda.Ranow-1@ksc.nasa.gov. NASA/KSC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the delivered price of 720 gallons of Dibrom 14, also known as Naled, delivered in 30 gallon drums to the Brevard County Mosquito Control District, 800 Perimeter Road, Titusville, Florida 32780, (321) 264-5032. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/KSC intends to purchase the items from ADAPCO, Inc. 2800 South Financial Court, Sanford, Florida 32772-8118, (800) 367-0659, which is believed to be the only supplier of this product in the southeastern United States. SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION After an industry search was performed on Dibrom 14, also know as Naled, ADAPCO, Inc. is believed to be the only supplier of this product within the southeastern United States. NASA technical representative, Max Farley together with Jim Hunt, Director of Brevard County Mosquito Control District, performed extensive market research and found ADAPCO, Inc. to be the only supplier of Dibrom 14 from the manufacturer, AMVAC Chemical Corporation, 4100 East Washington Blvd., Los Angeles, California 90023-4406 (323) 264-3910. This chemical must meet Dibrom 14 Material Safety Data Sheet according to OSHA Hazardous Components (29 CFR 1910.1200). This product is required to control mosquitoes in the outlying areas of Kennedy Space Center that cannot be serviced by the Joint Base Operation Service Contract because they do not have ariel equipment necessary to apply chemicals to surface waters. These materials are supplied annually by NASA to Brevard County Mosquito Control District in accordance with the Mosquito Control Agreement between the Air Force Eastern Test Range, John F. Kennedy Space Center, Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, and Brevard County. Therefore, this procurement is believed to be a sole source acquistion.
