___X______Only one source reasonably available.

_________ Urgent and compelling circumstances exists.

_________ Exclusive licensing agreement exists.

_________ Brand name. If the brand name requirement applies to a portion of the procurement, please identify that portion.

_________ Industrial Mobilization _________ Other. Explain:

Continuity of trash removal services is essential to ensure uninterrupted operations, health, and safety at FEMA-managed group and micro-sites. Any disruption could lead to accumulated waste, health hazards, pest infestations, and increased operational costs. Maui Disposal Company Inc. is the incumbent contractor providing both bin and dumpster services under PO 70FBR925P00000005 and has established routes, equipment placement, and workforce dedicated to the Kilohana Group Site and micro-sites.

The island of Maui—particularly Lahaina—continues to recover from the 2023 wildfires. Many local businesses remain not fully operational, and some have permanently closed. The local waste management sector has been significantly stressed by ongoing home rebuilding and large-scale debris cleanup. Maui’s landfills were designed for normal daily waste from the local population. Due to the increased volume from debris and reconstruction, these facilities are overwhelmed and local municipalities have had to improvise with temporary dump sites. Under these conditions, there are little to no other known local businesses with sufficient capacity to meet the sustained demand for trash removal services at the FEMA group sites.

Attempting to transition to a new provider at this stage would introduce significant risk of service disruption, jeopardize public health and safety, and potentially compromise FEMA’s direct housing mission. Maui Disposal Company Inc. is the only responsible source currently capable of providing continuous, compliant service through the end of the required period.
