JOFOC Signed - DOXA PR15025068.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for other than full and open competition under FAR Subpart 6.3 for residential security upgrades at the New Chief of Mission Residence in Barrio San Jorge. The Department of State is awarding a sole-source contract to DOXA for $27,055.00 to provide and install security features including window grilles, hard core doors, emergency egress, and electrical connections to security devices.

The sole-source justification is based on DOXA being the original designer and contractor of the residence with unique knowledge of critical plumbing, electrical and structural systems. With 20 years of experience, DOXA's specialized expertise and familiarity with the property is deemed essential to minimize risks of damage and delays. The J&A cites compliance with POSHO/SHEM and OBO requirements as additional factors favoring the incumbent contractor. Market research found only 1-3 SAM-registered contractors capable of the work, but time constraints led to recommending direct award to the current service provider.
