Attachment 4 U.S. Customs and Border Protection

Limited-Sources Justification (LSJ) - FAR 8.405-6 For orders or BPAs exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT)

Version 2.0 November 2020

The United States Southern Border is currently experiencing significant migration of individuals seeking asylum in the United States. The border enforcement protections of Title 42 have been phased out, causing even greater numbers of aliens to be processed. All current detention/processing facilities are full, with only limited space available in any southwestern border U.S. Border Patrol location. As a result of limited space and capacity, CBP has continuing need for the current SSF at the Yuma, Arizona site.

The current structure is already in place by the incumbent contractor. An urgent and compelling need exists for a short-term continuation of services to allow CBP to resolicit the procurement in accordance with a court-approved timeline.

Deployed Resources is uniquely situated to provide the ongoing necessary services to CBP as the current contractor for CBP under the task order without delay in the very short term while that competition is underway.

5. Determination by the ordering activity contracting officer that the anticipated order represents the best value consistent with FAR 8.404(d).

The contracting officer has determined that a short term Task Order to Deployed Resources using DHS BPA70RDAD21A00000012 represents the best value and will result in the lowest overall cost, considering price and administrative costs, to meet the Government’s needs. The General Services Administration (GSA) has already negotiated fair and reasonable pricing.

Discounts to these GSA schedule rates will be requested. Additionally, CBP will consider the level of effort and the mix of labor proposed to perform each specific task being ordered to determine whether the total price of the expansion is reasonable. As part of the analysis, the contractor’s labor mix and level of effort will also be compared to the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) as well as to previous CBP contracts for wrap-around services and soft-sided facilities including the current contract with the incumbent..

6. A description of the market research conducted among schedule holders and the results, or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted.

Market research was conducted for the new task order award by examining several schedule holders. However, in the immediate term, there is an urgent and compelling need for the incumbent to continue providing services pending the recompeted award.

7. Any other facts supporting the limited-sources justification. There are no additional facts supporting the justification.
