CJAG K-Span_Limited Competition Determination_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification Review Document for a single source determination prepared by the National Guard Bureau for the procurement of Building Materials for CIAG K-Span structures. The contracting activity is USPFO OH under the 200 RED HORSE SQUADRON, with the requirement classified as a new contract on a firm fixed-price basis funded through O&M, Army. The procurement is being conducted under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901 as implemented in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), which allows solicitation from a single source.

The requirement is to procure complete BIB (Building in a Box) kits compatible with M.I.C. Industries' brand Ultimate Building Machines (UBM), which will be used to rapidly construct K-Span structures—vertical steel shelters deployed in CONUS and OCONUS locations. The justification demonstrates that M.I.C. Industries is the only source capable of manufacturing the required K-Span kit due to proprietary components and patented systems. Past efforts by agency engineers to utilize standard, off-the-shelf building materials with the UBM have failed, and outsourced kits and components are incompatible with the UBM, creating significant constructibility problems and delays. The document confirms a prior related procurement (W9136419P0041 dated June 19, 2019) and notes that this will be conducted as a 100% small business set-aside. Market research confirmed neither AbilityOne Program nor Federal Prison Industries offer compatible alternatives. The small business NMR class waiver for NAICS 332312 allows small businesses to act as prime contractors by procuring the branded M.I.C. kit and reselling it to the Government, creating competitive pricing opportunities among resellers.
