JUSTIFICATION & APPROVAL FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION for SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITIONS OVER THE MICROPURCHASE THRESHOLD (See FAR Part 2)

UP TO SAT

(See FAR 13.106-

1(b)(1))

Date: TBD PR Number: TBD

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

On September 17, 2021, a dead whale washed onto the beach at Great Kills Park. A site work contractor with equipment large enough to relocate and bury the whale took on the task. This task was completed by 3:00 PM on September 18, 2021. Before the contractor was brought on site, the FM for STIS reports that the work would not exceed $10k. After the work was completed, the FM engaged Jen Gartzke on September 20th and explained the situation in detail to her in an Email.

He stated again that the invoice would not exceed $10k in the Email to Jennifer. The PR was entered, and it would have seemed that the matter would close as soon as the invoice was received. When the contractor produced their final invoice, the total amount due was $27,843.82, requiring a funding modification in the amount of $17,843.83

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

Only one responsible source.

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: The work has already been completed and the J&A is needed in order to apply additional funds for costs incurred. Prior to the modification, the PO was under the Micro purchase threshold and not competed.

Since the work is complete, but over the MPT, a J&A is required in order to sole source to the vendor and pay their invoice.

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

MRR was not performed because the requirement was under MPT.
