Part 2) UP TO SAT (See FAR 13.106-1)

Date: _June 24, 2026__________________ PR Number: _________________________

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

__Pest management services to provide critical exclosures for mice and snakes. Exclosure system will consist of metal mesh fabric that will be used as a lining for basement walls, floors and exterior skirt around the office buildin.______________________________________________________

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: _ Currently, employees in the Ice Age office are catching anywhere from 6-10 mice in their office space a week and have to remove multiple snakes that have been located in common areas and found nestled between office cubicles. Due to the lack of official foundation to the old farmhouse that was turned into government work spaces- pests have been able to burrow into the building. Rodent droppings are being cleaned nearly daily and snake skin sheds have accumulated in the crawl space.

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

_IATR reached out to 5 different companies that offer pest management services in the Madison, WI area.

Of those, only two agreed to do work that would focus on exclusion for both mice and snakes. The first company offered only filling gaps and holes on the building itself along with active rodent trapping. This work would not address the access for burrowing pests and snakes. We did receive one quote from Termix Wil-Kill which provided detailed exlcusion that would eliminate entry through the basement, crawl space and outer building foundations.
