Amendment 002 to Solicitation This Solicitation is cancelled. The USDA/APHIS/PPQ MRF Facility in Edinburg, TX plans to negotiate a sole source purchase for this requirement with Warrior Systems, Inc. for the M2 Model Conveyorized Tray Washer. The rationale for this purchase is in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This type and model of tray washer has proven to provide the required performance specifications for the USDA's continuous production needs and is the exact model that is currently and successfully being used in all other USDA production facilities (i.e. Edinburg, Texas, Harlingen Texas and Reynosa, Mexico, Pacora, Panama) Therefore Any pursuit of comparable products at this time would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government due to non compatibility of components and methods currently in use.
