The United States Department of Agriculture, through the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyard Administration and the Federal Grain Inspection Service, has entered into a sole source Firm Fixed Price Blanket Purchase Agreement with H&H Industries Inc. This contract provides specialized ballasts and lighting for grain grading labs in League City, Texas, covering a performance period of five years from the date of award. The procurement includes specific Colour-Master 75 bulbs and electronic ballasts essential for the accurate inspection of grain, rice, and other commodities. This award was conducted as a sole source procurement because H&H Industries Inc. provides unique color indices and lumens necessary for inspectors to judge kernel intensity accurately. The use of alternative lighting would compromise grading results and necessitate the costly replacement of all existing bulbs whenever a single unit fails. H&H Industries Inc., a small business based in Elmwood, Illinois, is identified as the only responsible source capable of meeting these specific technical requirements.

The choice of lighting is crucial. Inspectors must examine kernels of grain which are judged based the intensity of color. If some bulbs are of a different lumen, color index, and color temperature it can cause inspectors to misjudge the kernels. These H & H bulbs have a unique color index and lumens not found in any other bulbs and are the only bulbs used by inspectors because they have been proven to produce the best results. The use of any other brand of bulbs other than H & H would also require replacement of all the bulbs when only one is extinguished which would be quite costly and unnecessary.
