About this file
This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) document issued by the Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, Central Federal Lands Highway Division (CFLHD) in Lakewood, Colorado for a contract to procure concrete colorants, trash receptacles, delineators, and benches for a National Park.
The solicitation requires four categories of single-source products that must match existing park infrastructure. For concrete colorants, the agency specifies Davis #641 Sequoia Sand (manufactured by Davis Paint in North Kansas City, Missouri) for the majority of work and Solomon Color, Color Flo #920 Onyx (manufactured by Solomon Colors in Springfield, Illinois) for remaining portions. Trash receptacles must be Bear Saver Model HB1G-UP in Forest Brown (manufactured by Bear Saver in Guasti, California), which is identified as the only manufacturer of this specific model. Benches comprise two types: limestone benches consisting of Kasota Stone Seat Blocks, Kasota Blend (manufactured by Kasota Stone in Mankato, Minnesota) and steel benches identified as Lemars Series Ribbed park bench #LB72, 6'0" in Rapid Tan (manufactured by Petersen Manufacturing Company in Denison, Iowa). The justification cites that competition is not possible because these products are only available from their respective single manufacturers and are necessary to maintain visual consistency and the historic and cultural landscape of the park. The JOFOC will be posted on SAM.gov for a minimum of 30 days alongside the solicitation, and the contracting officer certifies fair and reasonable pricing will be confirmed through thorough bid analysis.
