1. Nature and/or description of the item/service being procured and its intended use (include the anticipated cost):

The National Park Service (NPS), at Kalaupapa National Historical Park has a need for temporary lodging for displaced NPS staff from NPS quarters due to inoperable water system/housing. NPS staff have been troubleshooting the water system for several weeks and implementing a plan for diagnostic and repair, including mandatory water restrictions and the removal of all non-essential staff and all staff who have a primary residence outside the park to conserve water. In the meantime, the NPS has been operating a temporary system. On Sept 3rd the temporary system failed, and the park has been unable to pump water since that date. The water levels have dropped to a critical level and we can no longer support the remaining housing units. Based on diagnostics and specialized equipment needs, the current timeframe for repair for the system and return to normal water function is at least 14 days.

2. Sole Source Justification rationale (Check one and explain below):

______ Only one responsible source.

X Urgent and compelling circumstances exist. Include critical delivery or performance dates, and when you became aware of the requirement. Provide a specific statement of the impact on Government operations, financial or otherwise, if the required delivery or performance dates are not met.

______ Other _____________________________________________________

Explain: On Sept 3rd the temporary system failed and the park has been unable to pump water since that date. Community water system reached critical levels on 9/11/2026 requiring remaining staff to move out of quarters. Staff with primary residence in park housing have been displaced and require NPS furnished lodging per their quarter’s agreement. 9/12/2026 is the first day for flight availability for staff to leave the park and is the first night lodging is required. This hotel was the only property in SAMS with availability for the number of rooms needed. Estimate for water system repair is 14 days.

3. Market Research. Please explain the results or why one was not performed. State whether any other offers were received or anyone expressed interest:
