About this file

This document is a justification and approval for sole source procurement. The National Guard Bureau is seeking to procure Belgard Moduline Series pavers on a sole source basis for a pedestrian concourse connecting multiple facilities at an Air Force base. The estimated value of the sole source pavers is unspecified. This procurement justification cites FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B), stating the pavers are the only option that will ensure compatibility across five separate construction projects comprising the continuous pedestrian concourse. Prior projects used these pavers, and different products would compromise aesthetics. Market research found the pavers readily available. The justification and sole source approval were certified by officials from the 187th Fighter Wing Civil Engineer Squadron and signed by the contracting officer.

The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation from the Department of the Army Alabama Army National Guard for a weapons load crew training facility, with an unspecified award date and pricing terms.

Justification and Approval for Other than Full and Open Competition Sole Source Items within a Construction Project AFARS 5153.303-5

Contracting Activity: USPFO Alabama

Description of Action: FAKZ039172 - F35 Weapons Load Crew Training Facility

Type of Action: New Contract Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price Funding Type: MI CON

Description of Sole Source Items:

Belgard Moduline Series Paver System: This project includes a portion of a pedestrian concourse that connects to multiple facilities. The pedestrian concourse will be constructed with pavers.

Estimated Value of Sole Source Items:

Authority Cited: United States Code 3304(a)(1) as implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302- 1(a)(2)(ii)(B), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

Reason for Authority Cited: The pedestrian concourse will be constructed over five different projects.

The Belgard Moduline Series Paver System, (Moduline Plank Pavers) was selected in the first two projects that have already been awarded, and the same product will to be used in the remaining projects. The Pedestrian Concourse, although broken across multiple project scopes, is continuous and the potential use of multiple paver manufacturers would result in inconsistency of size, color, and finish of pavers that would have a detrimental impact to overall aesthetic of the concourse upon completion.

Ultimately, the concourse will span across the Base Supply, F-35 Simulator, Squadron Operations Renovation, AMU, and WLT project scopes.

Efforts to Obtain Competition: A pre-solicitation notice was placed in sam.gov in order to give contractors an early notification of this project. The Belgard Moduline Series Paver System is currently being used in two previous projects of the continuous pedestrian concourse.

Market Research: The Belgard Moduline Series Paver System, is readily available from many authorized dealers.

Facts: Use of Belgard Moduline Series Paver System in this project is the only way forward to ensure the AMU project is 100% compatibility with other connecting projects.
