This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the U.S. Consulate General in Merida. The procurement is for NCC Diagnostic Test Equipment and Tools for the Plumbing team and Generator Mechanic team, with an estimated cost of $45,000 USD, including shipping. The acquisition will be made through Grainger.com Government Schedules, utilizing the OBO/FAC/AMT log, with the Facility Manager citing unusual and compelling urgency under FAR 6.302-2 as the justification for sole-source procurement.

The document details the critical nature of the equipment for maintaining essential building systems including potable water treatment, waste water treatment, water distribution, sewage, and power generators. Grainger was selected as the vendor due to being on the OBO/AMT list and GSA schedules, with the Contracting Officer determining the cost to be fair and reasonable based on Grainger Government rates. The procurement section is severely overwhelmed and understaffed, necessitating a direct purchase from a pre-approved vendor to ensure timely acquisition of diagnostic test equipment and preventative maintenance tools for the NCC facility.
