Control Number: HDEC08-20-08

JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL

FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

1. Contracting Office – Defense Commissary Agency, Store Services Support Division (CCQT); 1300 E Avenue/ Fort Lee, Virginia 23801.

2. Type of Contract Action – Six month Justification and Approval (J&A); Mod will extend period of performance six months, Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Contract; Defense Working Capital Funds (DWCF).

3. Description of Supplies/Services – Acquisition is for Shelf Stocking, Receiving/Storage/Holding Area (RSHA), and Custodial Services at the Kodiak United States Coast Guard (USCG) Commissary located in Kodiak, Alaska; Six month J&A estimated amount is $325K.

4. Authority Cited – The applicable statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is FAR 6.302-2, Unusual and Compelling Urgency.

5. Reason for Authority Cited – An award to any other source at this time would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the requirement and an interruption of services. In the absence of these services, the commissary could be shut down and the military members and their families will be denied their full commissary benefit provided to them by statute under 10 U.S.C.

§2481 and 10 U.S.C. §2484.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition – The justification in support of the agency’s request not to issue a sources sought notice is predicated upon the fact that the required services are deemed to be available only from the incumbent contractor, Trusted Hand Service, Inc. (CAGE: 0MHV2).

Trusted Hand Service, Inc. has been performing the services at a satisfactory level for the past year.

7. Fair and Reasonable Cost Determination – A modification will be done for six months. A proposal will be requested from the incumbent contractor for the six month J&A period of performance. In accordance with FAR Part 15, the contracting officer will compare proposed prices to historical prices paid (FAR 15.404-1 (b) (2) (ii)) to determine the Government is receiving these services at a fair and reasonable price.

8. Market Research and Interested Sources – As indicated above, an award to any other source at this time would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the requirement and an interruption of services.

9. Actions to Increase/Foster Competition – There is an open contracting action for long term support for these services (HDEC08-18-R-0034). The action has been publicized through the Government Point of Entry using the Commercial Cost Comparison (C3) solicitation procedure as agreed to October 29, 1998 between the President’s Committee for Purchase from People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled, NISH, and the Defense Commissary Agency.
