The 39th IBCT is requesting to purchase 10,131 Breakfast and Dinner meals for their Annual Training 5 July thru 22 July 2021. This period of performance overlaps with an existing requirement for an adjoining unit that is conducting training during the same period.

The subject period of performance overlaps with an existing period of performance on a recently awarded purchase order with the proposed vendor. The government facility and equipment identified to support these two requirements is limited.

A sole-source award will eliminate logistics constraints associated with limited GFE for concurrent requirements. A multiple vendor situation in a single dining facilty would not effectively work due to the available space and GFE

Market research and responses to recent 'RFQ's by the Government for 'like' requirements has received 2-3 responses with limited interest. Of three responses received on a recent requirement, 1 vendor withdrew before award, leaving only two responsive bids. This is most likely due to the following: geographical area of the requirements, time of year (there is a strong need for these type of services by the National Guard across all 54 states and territories), lead time between identification of requirement and service start date.

. PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE

OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE
