LSJ Fair Opportunity Exception_REDACTED.pdf

This is a Limited Sources Justification (LSJ) Exception to Fair Opportunity document issued by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service, for Construction Manager as Advisor (CMa) services on the Capital Security Program and Courts Construction Project at the U.S. Courthouse in Alexandria, Louisiana. The solicitation number is listed as TBD, and the document is dated April 2, 2026.

The requested action involves awarding a sole source BPA Call/Task Order to Procon Consulting, LLC (Procon) for CMa services valued at an undisclosed amount with an estimated period of performance of 365 calendar days. GSA seeks to separate CMa services from the Designer of Record's existing A-E contract due to an Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) created when CMa services were initially incorporated into the Designer of Record's task order via modification on February 14, 2024. The justification demonstrates that Procon is the only source capable of providing the required specialized CMa services without an unacceptable transition period, as Procon has provided CMa services for this 11,937-square-foot, four-level courthouse expansion project for over two years. The statutory authority for sole source award is GSAM 538.7104-3(b), citing both unusual urgency and the unique, highly specialized nature of the services. The government determined that the anticipated cost represents fair value based on Procon's existing National BPA rates and anticipated additional discounts, with no price premium being paid. To prevent future occurrences, GSA will conduct mandatory OCI screenings during the Acquisition Planning phase for all Architect-Engineer requirements and will vet subsequent task order modifications to ensure no impaired objectivity conflicts arise.
