This document is a Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a simplified acquisition related to radon mitigation services.

The procurement addresses elevated radon levels in Quarters 35 of a federal facility through installation of a certified radon mitigation system and associated health and safety improvements. Testing conducted in March 2026 identified radon concentrations of 9.5 pCi/L in Quarters 35, exceeding the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. The mitigation system will serve an apartment complex consisting of eight units and approximately 2,389 total square feet. The justification cites urgent and compelling circumstances as the basis for sole source procurement, emphasizing that immediate installation is necessary to mitigate health risks to employees. The document notes that delayed procurement through extended market research or a longer acquisition timeline would prolong employee exposure to elevated radon levels. Market research was limited, with Park reaching out to local radon mitigation contractors; Upper Edge responded immediately and verified the testing findings. The contracting officer, Joanie M. Brzezinski, certified on 06/29/2026 that only one source is available or urgent and compelling circumstances exist, and that the anticipated price will be determined fair and reasonable using FAR Part 13.106-3(a) price analysis techniques. The Facility Manager, David Tashner, signed the justification on 06/29/2026. A signature block for a warranted individual one level above the contracting officer remains unsigned.
