DF - Under SAT Single Source or Brand Name - KO Signed_Redacted.pdf

This is a Determination and Findings (D&F) document for a single-source acquisition authorizing the Department of the Air Force to solicit non-personal services from MIGHTY VAC, LLC for latrine services at multiple Air Force locations. The contracting activity is the 27th Special Operations Contracting Squadron – Commodities and Services Flight. The acquisition covers the provision, maintenance, and servicing of portable chemical latrines, hand wash stations, and pump domestic wastewater holding and septic tanks at Cannon AFB, Melrose Air Force Range, Cannon Permanent Exercise Facility, and remote sites in Eastern New Mexico. The estimated contract value is at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), and execution will follow Simplified Procedures under RFO Part 12.

The D&F justifies single-source procurement based on unusual and compelling urgency, citing complete failure of the incumbent contractor that has abandoned latrines at multiple locations, resulting in severe sanitary degradation, active insect infestations, and immediate biological health and safety hazards that threaten critical range operations and occupational health standards. Market research conducted from May 5, 2026 through June 24, 2026 determined that MIGHTY VAC is the only source reasonably available due to its unique geographical proximity to Cannon AFB and Melrose Air Force Range, which is critical to meeting immediate mission response times. The Government intends to execute a single-source award for a period not to exceed six months. The contracting officer determined that the single-source acquisition under FAR 12.102(a) is justified and in the best interest of the Government.
