This is a Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) form for a sole source contract procurement. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), a component of the U.S. Department of the Interior, is requesting approval for a new firm fixed price contract with an estimated annual fixed price of $206,028.00 for an outfit (equipment) package for a boat purchased under contract 140F0S24F0052.

The contract modification is with the William E. Munson Company to provide additional supplies and services necessary to complete the outfitting and construction of a boat frame that was initially awarded through competitive bidding in 2024 when Munson Boat was the sole bidder. The modification is justified based on 41 U.S.C. § 3304(a)(1), which permits sole source procurement when only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. USFWS conducted market research through a Notice of Intent to Sole Source posted on sam.gov from December 10, 2025 to December 22, 2025, which generated no responses. The contracting officer determined the anticipated price is fair and reasonable based on FAR 15.404-1 price analysis, comparing labor rates and supply costs against GSA rates. The completion timeline for the entire boat is estimated at multiple years, with no earlier completion than 2027. Munson Boat's unique qualifications include USCG passenger vessel builder certification, ABYC certified electricians, and adherence to U.S. and international standards for vessel construction, making them essential to ensure warranty, manufacture guarantees, and operational capability of the completed vessel.
