to accommodate an influx of personnel at the Naval Station Great Lakes for United States Border Patrol. The naval station facilities currently available cannot accommodate the influx of personnel required for enforcement removals operations. A short extension of the use of these portable facilities was required with short notice to meet the operational needs in Chicago.

The extension is for 15 days 10/1/2025-10/15/2025 and does not include any optional periods.

4. The anticipated price will be determined fair and reasonable based on one or more of the price analysis techniques described below in accordance with FAR Part 13.106- 3(a)(2). (Check one and provide a short description of the action taken.)

☐ Market Research.

☒ Comparison of the proposed price with prices found reasonable on previous purchases.

☐ Current price List.

☐ Comparison with similar items in a related industry.

☐ Comparison to IGCE.

☐ Contracting Officer’s personal knowledge.

☐ Other.

Short description of how price was determined fair and reasonable:

The contracting officer reviewed a list of companies offering these services and obtained pricing estimates for the requirement of lavatory and laundry trailers meeting the field office needs in August 2025. There were two companies that had active System for Award Management (SAM) registrations, Stahla had the lowest pricing and was able to meet the urgent delivery requirements for the operations in September. The contracting officer reviewed the pricing provided for the extension of 15 days, taking into consideration the cost of delivery and set-up and determined that it is most cost effective to extend the services.

The contracting officer determines that the price is fair and reasonable based on a comparison of proposed prices to commercial pricelists as well as historical prices paid, whether by the Government or other than the Government, for the same or similar items.

5. Approval of the Contracting Officer:
