This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Negotiated Procurement) for a federal contract opportunity under the Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul (RFO) Part 12.

The U.S. Department of Justice, United States Marshals Service (USMS) is seeking hangar space for one B737 Aircraft during inclement weather for a single base period through a sole-source acquisition with ASES, LLC dba Field Aerospace (UEI: NL9JRUPFNYYJ4). The MIQ Request Number is MJQ-M-27-A37-R-000023, with Contract Specialist Victor J. Stamps and Contracting Officer's Representative Rebecca Bonar overseeing the procurement. The justification cites RFO Part 6.103-1(b) as the authority for sole-source procurement, citing "one responsible source" rationale under 41 USC 3304(a)(1). Field Aerospace is identified as the only reasonably available vendor capable of providing the required services when considering proximity, location, security, and logistics for protecting JPATS-owned B737 aircraft during temporary parking. The vendor offers a secure hangar with unrestricted 24/7 access, emergency maintenance availability, and superior security compared to other Oklahoma airports. Market research confirmed no alternative sources exist in the required geographical area. Pricing is determined to be fair and reasonable based on commercial rates charged to all customers and favorable comparison to previously paid rates for similar services. The acquisition does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold and requires no competitive solicitation. The justification has been certified and approved by the Supervisory Contracting Officer (Julie M. Simpson) and the Contracting Officer (Victor J. Stamps).
