4. Statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition

The authority to enter into a contract for this effort without full and open competition is Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 6.3. Specifically, FAR 6.302-1, “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.”

5. Demonstration that the proposed contractor’s unique qualifications or the nature of the acquisition requires use of the authority cited

All of the above referenced products are requested items by the National Park Service, Sequioa & Kings Canyon National Park (NPS-SEKI, owner).

Item 64603-1000, FIXTURE, VAULT TOILET- The type, model and color of vault toilet has been previously installed by the NPS-SEKI at other locations in the Park. NPS- SEKI requested that the same model and color of vault toilet be installed as a part of this project to maintain consistency throughout the Park. Use of the same model of vault toilet will also simplify maintenance for the NPS-SEKI in regards to stocking replacement parts.

Item 63301-0000, SIGN SYSTEM- NPS-SEKI requested that all sign backs and sign posts be painted the same color as the existing sign backs and sign posts within the park.

NPS-SEKI stocks this type and color of paint, so if any repainting is required, use of this product will provide a consistent color and color retention as the existing sign backs and sign posts within the Park.
