The need is of such unusual urgency that following the procedures would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling that need;

Only one source is capable of providing the products, services, or solution required at the level of quality required because the products, services, or solutions are unique or highly specialized;

The order should be issued on a sole source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency because it is a logical follow-on to an FSS order already issued on a competitive basis;

It is necessary to place the order with a particular FSS contractor to satisfy a minimum guarantee established in the FSS BPA; or

A law expressly authorizes or requires that the purchase be made from a specified source.

Other: [briefly describe]

2. Market Research Conducted:

Based on a detailed search of SBA’s Dynamic Small Business Search tool, there is a very limited pool of small-business electrical contractors whose prime work is electrical contracting under NAICS 238210, or that have performed recent past projects at CDC. In discussions between the Project Manager and the EMOSO subject matter expert, one qualified contractor with past construction experience at CDC was contacted. Based on past performance, Chenega Industrial Group, LLC is capable of performing the work and managing the specialized electrical work and logistics involved in this project. Subcontractors past performance will be evaluated during the technical evaluation portion of the solicitation phase. This small business demonstrated strength in electrical systems and building construction would be the best value for the Government, and also contribute to CDC’s small business goals. A firm fixed price contract is recommended for this project. Market Research suggest that a direct sole source award to this SBA 8(a) program participant Chenega Industrial Group, LLC.

3. Facts supporting sole source procurement: What can this product/service do that other products/services cannot do? Include description of other products/services considered and why they did not meet the need.

Chenega Industrial Group, LLC was identifed through Market Research as the only capable busienss of performing and managing the specialized electrical work and logistics involved in this project. Chenega Industrial Group, LLC familarity with CDC building structure and automated control systems mitigates risk in delivery delays and project completion. No other companies were found to have the expertise needed for the installation of a new automatic transfer switch in UPS Room B124 that will be fed by by one feeder originating from Building 20 Unit Substation A and a second feeder from Building 20 Unit Substation B. The ATS shall serve the existing SOC UPS in Room B124.
