JA Cost Book to SCO Final_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Sole Source Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a $5,669,954.00 contract to provide a "TRACES Cost Book" for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Walla Walla District. The contract is a follow-on to a previous 2021 contract where the incumbent contractor, RSMeans (owner is Gordian), provided labor, material, and equipment cost data for inclusion in the USACE Cost Book. The current contract requires the contractor to update the previous cost data to reflect 2025 pricing values and provide a fully updated 2024-2029 USACE Cost Book. The USACE Cost Book is derived from a foundation of CSI Tasks that include crew, equipment, and material pricing. The determination of a sole source award is based on 41 U.S.C. 1901, as the USACE has determined RSMeans is the only responsible source that can satisfy the agency's requirements. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 334513, with a small business size standard of 750 employees.
