About this file
This document is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition under FAR 12.102, submitted by the Bureau of Land Management's El Centro Field Office (ECFO).
The contracting officer seeks to procure annual maintenance and repair services for the BLM Law Enforcement Evidence Trailer (VIN 1U9EV3738KR078725) to ensure operational readiness for the FY27 ISDRA season. The scope of work includes generator service (fluids, filters, carburetor), fuel-system drain and cleaning, electrical troubleshooting, plumbing and toilet repair, awning service, roof reseal and coating (Dicor brand), HVAC service, inspection and replacement of seals and batteries, return of usable removed parts, and pickup and delivery coordination. The requirement is classified as a commercial service under FAR Part 12, not requiring a Part 6 Justification and Approval (J&A).
The justification for limiting competition to a single source is based on FAR 12.102, which permits single-source solicitation when only one source is reasonably available. Desert RV Service & Towing LLC is identified as the only local provider in El Centro demonstrating integrated capability to perform the full scope of shop, field service, and tow/recovery support within the compressed 90-day schedule needed before the ISDRA season start. Market research supported this determination: a DSBS search found only two small businesses in El Centro out of 174 in California, and GSA eLibrary identified only one California-based contractor, none locally available. The vendor's SAM profile confirms primary NAICS 811114 registration with county coverage including Imperial County, aligning with the place of performance. The price estimate and recommended source sections contain redacted information.

Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition Bureau of Land Management
FAR 12.102 Restricting competition
Purchase Request 0044046171
1. Identification of the agency and the contracting office.
Bureau of Land Management, El Centro Field Office (ECFO)
2. Description of supply or service required to meet the agency’s needs.
Annual maintenance and repair of the BLM Law Enforcement Evidence Trailer (VIN 1U9EV3738KR078725) to ensure operational readiness for the FY27 ISDRA season. Tasks include generator service (fluids/filters/carburetor), fuel‑system drain & clean, electrical troubleshooting, plumbing/toilet repair, awning service, roof reseal/coating (Dicor), HVAC service, inspection/replacement of seals & batteries, return of usable removed parts, and pickup/delivery coordination per the SOW.
3. The rationale or circumstances for limiting competition.
Under FAR 12.102 Restricting competition, for purchases not exceeding the SAT, the Contracting Officer may solicit from one source when only one source is reasonably available.
Desert RV Service & Towing LLC is the only local provider demonstrating integrated capability to perform the full scope (shop + field service + tow/recovery support) and to meet the compressed schedule needed to ready the trailer before the ISDRA season start. Competing the requirement would risk schedule and LE mission readiness. This is a commercial service under FAR Part 12 and not a Part 6 J&A.
4. A description of the Market Research (MR) conducted and the results or a statement of the reason MR was not conducted.
• DSBS search found 174 small businesses in California; only two are in El Centro (locality is essential to meet the 90‑day schedule).
• GSA eLibrary identified 23 contractors for vehicle maintenance/repair across multiple platforms; only one was in California and not local to El Centro.
• Prior ECFO trailer service award and the program’s statement that Desert RV is the only local provider with the needed shop + field/tow capability support the single‑source determination.
Vendor’s SAM profile confirms primary NAICS 811114, active registration, and county coverage includes Imperial, aligning with the place of performance.
5. Price estimate, including all options, if applicable.
6. Recommended source.
