SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION

1. Identification of Agency and Contracting Activity. The requiring agency is Naval Education and Training Command (NETC). The contracting activity is NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) Norfolk, Contracting Dept. Philadelphia Office.

2. Description of the Action Being Approved. This is a sole source action for the provision of subsistence services. NETC requires these services for evacuees in response to natural disasters. It is anticipated that a blanket purchase agreement (BPA) will be awarded as new firm fixed price contract to Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) at Fort A.P. Hill.

3. Description of Supplies/Services. Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) requires a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to provide meals for evacuating military students in response to emergencies and natural disaster. During evacuation, students will be relocated from NETC’s Learning Center in Hampton Roads, Virginia to Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia. In the event of a mass evacuation from this area, up to 1,500 military students will be transferred to Fort A.P. Hill on a temporary basis under NETC contingency operations. To support the student population, meals will need to be provided. Fort A.P. Hill MWR provides all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, other items and non-personal services necessary to provide contingency subsistence.

The period of performance for this BPA is for twelve months from the date of award with four one-year option periods. .

No funding will be required to execute the Blanket Purchase Agreement or its options. Orders under the BPA will utilize annual Navy O&MN appropriations appropriate with the timeframe in which the order is placed.

4. Statutory Authority Permitting Sole Source. The statutory authority permitting this sole source action is 41 U.S.C. 1901, Simplified acquisition procedures - a sole source acquisition using simplified acquisition procedures for the acquisition of commercial items, as implemented by FAR 13.501(a).

5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority. Fort A.P. Hill complex is used to house up to 1,500 evacuating NETC personnel. Fort A.P. Hill’s dining facility is collocated with the barracks where the evacuees will be housed. While other companies may be able to provide subsistence services, they do not prepare, provide cooking equipment, or tear down/clean. Further searches revealed that there are not enough local restaurants nor transportation available for the evacuees to dine off base (Fort AP Hill). The dining facility, which is managed and staffed by Fort A.P. Hill MWR, limits the requirement to be filled only by MWR due to the isolated and unique location of the required services.

Due to this unique situation, services offered by other firms cannot meet or be modified to meet NETC’s need.
