Attachment 1- Sole Source Justification Redacted.pdf

This is a Department of the Air Force Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI document) for a sole-source award to the City of San Angelo (COSA) for utility services.

The 17th Contracting Squadron at Goodfellow Air Force Base, located in Goodfellow AFB, Texas, is executing this justification to support a sole-source award for water and sewer services. COSA is the sole municipal provider of these utility systems in the local geographic area, making it the only available source. The contract will provide potable water to Goodfellow AFB at a constant 1,300 gallons per minute with minimum pressure of 40 pounds per square inch; potable water to Goodfellow Recreation Camp (RECCAMP) at Lake Nasworthy at 100 gallons per minute; and sewage services to both facilities. The contracting officer, MSgt Elzara Kimalova, has determined the anticipated contract cost to be fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.4. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition, establishing that only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. While RFO 41.103(b) and GSA delegation authorize utility service contracts for up to ten years, the Air Force is pursuing a five-year contract term to provide long-term stability while mitigating fiscal risk and maintaining operational flexibility. The City of San Angelo's prices are regulated by city ordinances under Appendix A8.000 - Utility Related Fees, and no presolicitation notice is required per RFO 5.101(b)(1)(vi) for utility services where only one source is available.
