Efforts to Obtain Competition: Market research was conducted to seek sources capable of providing the required parking. No other parking facility was available in close proximity to the New York Immigration Court.

4. Actions to Increase Competition: SFMS continually works to seek compatible providers. At this time, the parking facility managed by KIDS PARKING is the only provider that meets the agency requirements, specifically the distance requirements from the parking facility to the court location. The non-reserved parking permit will ensure the safety of Immigration Judge working extended or unusual shifts that would have them coming/going to work at off-times in the dark.

The permits will ensure that these employees will not have to walk to and from their vehicles in the dark in New York, NY which would expose them unnecessarily to potential harm.
