About this file

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for refuse and recycling collection services at the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Training Center in Petaluma, California.

The USCG intends to award a sole-source purchase order to Recology Sonoma Marin, as they are the sole provider of refuse services in the region due to an exclusive franchise agreement with the City of Petaluma. No other sources can meet the government's requirements. The estimated value of the contract is above the micro-purchase threshold but within the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). The JOFOC cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the justification for the sole-source award. The document provides details on the market research conducted and explains why no other sources can be used. The USCG must comply with the local franchise agreement for solid waste collection. The purchase order is intended to be awarded on August 13, 2024.
