Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: 6th Contracting Squadron/LGCA 2610 Pink Flamingo Ave, Tampa FL. 33621

Purchase Request/ Identification Number:

F2V4FM5300A003

JA-16-009

Project/Program Name: Extension of Task Order FA8053-12- D-0014-5S02, Clinical Nurses (4 FTE's)

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

$63,232.00

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required Task Order FA8053-12-D-0014-5S02 was awarded to Dependable American Hospital Services, LLC on April 27, 2012 with an expiration date of October 31, 2015 (Base w/3

Option Years). The Task Order was awarded off of the Clinical Acquisition for Support Services (CLASS) IDIQ and is for 4 Clinical Nurses required to backfill unfilled active duty authorizations. A two month extension is required (1 November -31 December 2015) to maintain these critically needed positions. Prices for this extension were not initially evaluated with the award.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source Under citations: 10 U.S.C. 2304(g) as implemented by FAR 13.501(a), Sole source (including brand Name) acquisitions for acquisitions conducted under simplified acquisitions procedures, the purpose of which is to extend the current Task Order under the authority of FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services. On October 8, 2015 we received notice from the Clinical Acquisition for Support Services (CLASS) Program Manager, David Green, that the CLASS contract has reached its ceiling of $992M and we were further directed to cancel/rescind any current Task Order Proposal Requests. This two month extension is required to maintain services while a ceiling limit increase is executed by the

CLASS Contracting Officer to allow for competitive solicitations.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition A long-term effort will be competed amongst the 21 eligible CLASS contract holders. This short term extension is a means of maintaining critical services while the re-compete is completed. The contractor has agreed to keep the hourly rates ($49.40) equal to the price paid in the last option year. This hourly rate is considered Fair and Reasonable as it was initially evaluated as part of the original award and is $17.45 lower than the medium salary for Clinical Nurses in the local Tampa area (as found on salary.com).

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source Awards

All future requirements for Clinical Nurses will be competed amongst the 21 eligible CLASS vendors.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
