A15 Sole Source_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Sole Source Documentation form for a federal contract under FAR Part 13, covering purchase orders between $10,000 and $250,000. The document details an emergency environmental services procurement for the cleanup of an illicit hazardous environment in Coldwater, Michigan. Specific services include proper characterization of hazardous waste, lab packaging, transportation, and disposal of waste seized by law enforcement, with the vendor required to be thoroughly knowledgeable about and compliant with environmental federal and state regulations.

The procurement is being conducted as a sole source acquisition due to urgent health and safety concerns in the community, with insufficient time to identify multiple qualified contractors. The Environmental Compliance and Operations Section has solicited emergency response and cleanup services, finding no other qualified companies and determining the cost and rates from DLD Environmental Services Inc. to be fair and reasonable. The contracting officer has deemed only one source reasonably available and recommends proceeding with this vendor based on their emergency response capability and immediate availability to handle hazardous waste cleanup.
