5. Reasons for Authority Cited:

This requirement has been awarded to Yakima Waste for the past 10 years under two different BPAs (W911S818A0009 and W911S815A0004). Both BPAs were solicited Full and Open. For this current acquisition, an attempt to award to a Small Business Opportunity was made. Only one vendor responded to the solicitation, and they weren’t even a local company. When the contracting office attempted to determine price reasonableness, the company determined that there were no local small businesses capable of fully accomplishing the work and subsequently withdrew their bid. As the previous two versions of this requirement were solicited Full and Open and only one bid, from Yakima Waste, was received, the Government feels that directing this action to Yakima Waste. Additionally, due to the need to award this prior to the end of the Fiscal Year, a direct award to the incumbent is the most expeditious and advantageous method for the Government.
