A.02. KO Sole Source Determination_Forestry Rental Phase2 Redacted.pdf

This document is a Contracting Officer (KO) Determination for a sole source procurement by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Vicksburg District. The urgent requirement is for the rental of forestry mulchers, identified on March 20, 2025, with all work to be completed according to an attached statement of work. The contract will be awarded to RCG of North Carolina (CAGE Code: 57GK3), which has previously provided similar services to USACE-MVK and has the immediate capability to supply the required equipment.

The procurement is being sole-sourced under the authority of 10 U.S.C. §2304(c)(2) and FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), with funds available under Purchase Request and Commitment W807PM50870330. Market research confirmed RCG of North Carolina as the most suitable source, and the Contracting Officer determined that resoliciting and remobilizing equipment would be too costly and potentially cause mission failure. The contract is for the Maintenance Section's urgent equipment needs, with the delivery date set before April 9, 2025.
