J&A No. N102-20-P-0265

JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL (J&A)

FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

1. Contracting Activity:

Department of the Navy, Military Sealift Command (MSC), Norfolk.

2. Description of the Action Being Approved:

This contract action is for the modification of an existing contract on a sole source basis to Mother

Daughter Contracting Services, LLC to add and fund an additional option in support of the USNS

ARTIC ship repair services in Charleston, SC.

3. Description of the Supplies/Services:

The contractor shall provide single occupancy extended stay hotel rooms for the MSC Civil Service

Mariners (CIVMAR), assigned to the USNS ARTIC during the vessel’s repair period in Charleston, SC. The contractor shall provide one additional option to the existing lodging for the ARTIC follows.

Description of work: USNS ARCTIC CIVMAR lodging requirement in Charleston SC. Option 5.

8 – 17 Jul / 18 Jul 2020 check-out. 74 rooms X 10 days = 740 room nights. 740 room nights X

$XXXX room rate = $XXX.00. Requisition NXXXX applies.

4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition:

FAR 13.501 – Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority:

In accordance with FAR 13.501, full and open competition need not be provided for when services are available from only one or a limited number of responsible sources, and no other type of services will satisfy agency requirements. This requirement supports the use of the authority cited in

10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1) because only Mother Daughter Contracting Services can perform the services described herein within the required timeframe. Re-competing this requirement would result in unacceptable delays involved with the solicitation, evaluation, and award of this requirement.

Furthermore, a new contract will requires the CIVMARS to move from the existing lodging facility to another lodging facility, which could delay repairs to the ARTIC and possibly delay the ship repair schedule.

6. Description of Efforts Made to Solicit Offers from as Many Potential Sources as Practicable:

The Contracting Officer intends to post a redacted copy of this J&A for this proposed contract action on the Beta.SAM website in accordance with FAR 5.203(a). Market research was conducted to confirm that prices under the current contract are still considered fair and reasonable and that it would be unlikely that MSC would obtain a better rate as a result of re-competing this requirement.

7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost:

In accordance with 13.106-3, the Contracting Officer has determined that the anticipated cost to the

Government of the supplies/services covered by this J&A will be fair and reasonable.

8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition:

It is expected that the requirements described herein will not exceed the 18 July 2020 end date for the option period. Future lodging requirements will continue to be competed in accordance with agency procedures.
