Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: 2 CONS/PKC Purchase Request/ Identification Number:

F1G3A27250AW03

Project/Program Name: 2 CES Holiday Decorations Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

This procurement is for 2 CES for the Installation, maintenance, take-down, and storage of holiday decorations as well as obtaining new mounting equipment for the 2 CES to decorate the base during the holiday seasons.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source

2 CES owns $69,800.00 worth of holiday decorations procured from Christmas Decor, doing business as Lawnmasters and purchased a three year warranty for $3,200.00 from Lawnmasters. In addition, Lawnmasters designed the layout of our holiday decorations in 2016. Sole-source/follow-on justification has been established within the authority of FAR 13.501(a)(1)(ii) and 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(A) due to the fact that the vendor is specialized on the existing equipment and infrastructure and has the technical expertise and crew to complete the installation, take-down. In addition, the warranty would be voided if a different vendor is utilized. Lawn Masters is the only firm capable of providing the supplies and services described in this Section without the U.S. Air Force experiencing substantial duplication of cost that could not be expected to be recovered through competition.”

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Competition was obtained for the original acquisition of the holiday decorations, installation, take-down, and storage in 2016. It will be synopsized on FBO 14 days after contract award IAW FAR 6.305. Lawnmasters is a local small business residing in the Shreveport/Bossier area and is currently registered in SAM.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source Awards

To fully take advantage of the already purchased warranty, the Government will continue using Lawnmasters until the warranty expires in 2019. Once the Warranty is exhausted, the Government will solicit future opportunities on FBO.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
