Indicate the FAR Authority

FAR 13.106-1(b) Only one awardee is capable of providing the supplies or services required

Reason for Soliciting Only One Source

Aviation Technical Services is the only reasonably available vendor that can provide the services required by JPATS, when considering proximity and locations to protect JPATS owned B737 aircraft for temporary parking during inclement weather.

Security and logistics are also primary considerations when procuring hangar space.

Aviation Technical Services offers a higher level of security than other hangers at the Kansas City International Airport. Aviation Technical Services offers a secure hangar space with unrestricted 24/7 access, emergency maintenance availability, and the proximity for emergency response by JPATS personnel. JPATS has not identified any other sources that can provide the storage and access requirements to meet the needs of the agency. The results of the Market Research indicate Aviation Technical Services as the only source available in the required geographical area.

The proposed price of $52,500.00 is considered fair and reasonable based on the following:

a. In accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a)(2)(iii) The proposed price is a commercial price charged to all customers.

b. In accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a)(2)(ii) Price compares favorably to price paid for the same services or similar services under a previous purchase.
