The proposed action is for the purchase of 200 extruded AZ31 magnesium rod anodes, 2.024” in diameter by 240” (20 ft) in length with one end plain, the other end threaded.

Waiver Rationale Summary
A Request for Quotations (RFQ) for the acquisition of 200 AZ31 Magnesium Anode Rods was published to SAM.gov on March 9, 2022. The customer previously requested an estimated quote from Galvotec to use as market research for this acquisition. Galvotec responded with a quote valued at $89,466.00. One (1) firm submitted a response to the solicitation. AMS Industries, LLC provided a quote valued at $95,526.00. AMS’s quote was only 6.8% percent higher than the Galvotec quote, so the customer accepted the quote. AMS's quoted product will be manufactured in Mexico. FAR 25.103(b)(3) is applicable in this situation, as no quotes were received where the product will be manufactured domestically.
