HQC00425PE003 Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition for the Defense Commissary Agency's procurement of shelving and accessories. The agency requires shelving and accessories to complete shelving resets at Camp Foster, Imperial Beach, and Norfolk Commissaries, with a performance period from April 1, 2025 through July 17, 2025. The total purchase order value is $560,778.43.

The justification focuses on sole-sourcing to Madix, Inc., as the agency has exclusively used Madix brand shelving since 2007, accumulating excess shelving with minimal damage that can be reused. Market research revealed no reasonable expectation of finding alternative small businesses capable of providing and installing the shelving. The document notes that shelving from other manufacturers is not compatible with Madix brand shelving, and Madix's inclusion of installation in their product purchase simplifies solicitation requirements and offers cost savings. The contracting officer will ensure contract terms and pricing are commensurate with the government's needs, and the agency plans to conduct ongoing market research to seek alternative sources for future multi-year requirements.
