15B41123P00000058 JOFOC Memo.pdf

This memorandum provides justification for a sole source acquisition of refrigerated containers by the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Pekin. Specifically, the agency requires the emergency purchase of two refrigerated containers to address urgent food storage needs. Due to the pressing requirement and specialized nature of the goods, a limited competition procurement process was deemed most suitable. The sole source award would be made on an expedited timeline to ensure the refrigerated containers are delivered by the end of the fiscal year.
