5. Determination that proposed Contractor’s unique qualifications or the nature of the acquisition requires use of the authority cited:

release from federal custody. RRC placements provide a safe, structured, supervised environment in the individual's community, as well as assistance, drug treatment, and other reentry programs and services. RRCs help inmates gradually rebuild their ties to the community and supervise their activities during this community readjustment period.

Therefore, returning the offenders to a secure institution for the three-month period requested in this justification would cause serious harm to the mission of the Bureau and would be a disruption to the inmate’s reentry programming. Relocating the offenders does not support the overall mission of the Reentry Services Division or the Bureau in the attempt to re-integrate the offenders into society as law abiding citizens.

6. Efforts made to solicit from as many sources as practicable, including whether or not a notice was published in the GPE:

Based on the urgent requirements of these services, the exception at FAR 5.202(a) (2) applies.
