4. Identification of the authority.

This action is being taken under the authority of Simplified Acquisition Procedures, 41 U.S.C. 1901.

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

The Contractor is the legal agent of the owner, and only resource available to the Government for such services. This requirement is based on ICE location, and mission specific to ICE operations, and is necessary for security of Government vehicles, as well as providing confidentiality and security to witnesses, informants, and employees.

6. Description of efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable.

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Office of Portfolio Management and Real Estate (OPMRE), that manages Space and Parking Garages, was contacted to inquire about other properties in the area which are able to satisfy our requirement. The GSA OPMRE office that supports the National Capital Region, relayed that a query of the area, revealed no other properties that meet our requirements. DHS intends to post this justification in accordance with FAR 13.501(a)(1)(iii) within 14 days after contract award.

7. Determination by the contracting officer that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

The current vendor Jones Lang LaSalle’s monthly pricing for 356 parking spaces is $xxx. xx, which is lower than other vendors in the surrounding area. Central parking pricing is $xx.xx for the location at 1201 Maryland Avenue SW, DC, 20024. ACE parking pricing is $xx.xx for the location at 950 L’Enfant Plaza SW, DC, 20024. Park America pricing is $xx.xx for the location at 901 D Street, SW, DC, 20024, but the location does not support the need for 356 spaces.

8. Description of market research.

Market research was conducted in December 2018 by OAFM which found that Jones Lang LaSalle Americas Inc. is the only vendor that can provide 356 indoor unreserved parking spaces under a single facility. The GSA confirmed that no Federal parking spaces are available for the location of the PCN building.

9. Any other facts supporting the justification.

Not applicable.

10. A listing of the sources, if any that expressed, in writing, an interest in the acquisition.
