A16_Sole_Source_Justification-_WICR_Monitoring_Services_Redacted_1.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition dated 2/27/25. The National Park Service seeks to procure Conserv's museum datalogger program to track and record temperature/humidity, pests, and lighting in museum exhibits and storage. The requirement includes 1 gateway and 30 sensors for exhibit cases and museum storage, structured as a three-year subscription-based service.

The sole source justification is based on Conserv being the only museum datalogger provider that can record temperature/humidity, integrated pest management monitoring, and light readings. The document notes that the park's Visitor Center currently lacks comprehensive monitoring capabilities, as their existing dataloggers only track temperature and humidity. The purchase has been approved by both IT and the Museum Management Program. The document is signed by an Administrative Officer and Contracting Officer, with provisions for approval above $50,000 if applicable.
