Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) - Final Signed Redacted.pdf

This Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) document provides details for the KSC Grounds and Pest Control Services solicitation issued by NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The solicitation seeks to award a sole source contract to the incumbent contractor for grounds maintenance, landscaping, and integrated pest management services at the Kennedy Space Center. The period of performance is a one year base period starting April 1, 2020 with four one-year option periods. The justification for restricting competition is that only the incumbent contractor possesses the specialized experience and certifications required to safely perform work in proximity to active space flight hardware and operations. Transitioning to a new contractor would pose unacceptable risks and delays to critical pre-launch activities. The total estimated value of the contract is $4.5 million over the five year period.
