I. BACKGROUND:

1. FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) states for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contracting

Officers may solicit from one source if the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization).

2. As required by FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i), this memorandum explains the absence of competition for this acquisition, as only one source will be solicited for this requirement (or for a portion of the requirement) and the requirement is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.

C. _X__UNUSUAL AND COMPELLING URGENCY. The supplies or services are of such unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits bids or proposals. Urgent requirements are supplies or services that will result in a work stoppage, or are mission critical and the routine processing time would result in injury to the Government. The determination that the procurement for the above item/service is an urgent and compelling requirement is based on the following:

1. Date on which the requirement was first identified: January 12, 2024

2. Required delivery date/period of performance: Required award date is January 29, 2024. Period of performance: February 5, 2024 – April 19, 2024

3. Explanation of why delivery/commencement of services by the date mentioned above is required: Funding, time constraints, and aligning personnel schedules has created an urgent and compelling need for these courses.

There are several projects that require completion of tasks this fiscal year and these courses will provide our personnel the appropriate level of knowledge and certification required to move urgent projects forward. We need to purchase all four courses this month to schedule the training to secure the knowledgeable contractor who can tailor the courses in enough time to meet our workflow demands.

4. If appropriate, include any additional pertinent information. Not applicable.
