This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole-source contract award to GenX Space, Bengaluru, for services supporting the U.S. Consulate General Chennai.

The U.S. Department of State seeks to award a firm-fixed-price contract to GenX Space for relocating Space Experiential Learning Center (SELC) items to Bengaluru for display at the National Day event on September 6, 2026, and the Bengaluru Space Expo from September 7-9, 2026. The services include packing and moving six SELC kiosks, four American spaceship models, four satellite models, four Meta Quest VR headsets, two 3D printers, two laptops, one 70-inch TV, two monitors, two exhibition guides, one backdrop, one 3D layered photobooth design, one 3D layered photobooth, and six security equipment units. The estimated contract value is $24,159. The contract is justified as sole-source under FAR 6.103-1, citing that GenX Space is the only responsible source capable of safely dismantling and reassembling the SELC, which it designed and installed at the American Center Chennai. Additionally, GenX Space serves as the outreach partner for Bengaluru Space Expo and is well-positioned to display and monitor the SELC at the event venue. No market research was conducted; cost was based on similar prior solicitations. No other sources have expressed written interest in this acquisition. The Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated cost of $24,159 is fair and reasonable based on prior competition pricing.
