Under Simplified Acquisition Procedures, in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106(b) Soliciting from a single source, NPS, Alaska Region, Acquisitions Office intends to issue a sole source, firm-fixed price order to: COMPANY:

Determinations not to compete this proposed procurement were made based on the following: There are currently five (5) U.S. Coast Guard classified OSROs in Southeast Alaska; however, only SEAPRO meets all qualifications required to support Glacier Bay National Park’s facility and operations. According to representatives from both the response and the prevention departments of U.S. Coast Guard Sector Juneau, the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for oil spill response resource requirements, only one of the classified OSRO within our response area is capable of meeting the requirements for timely response to the park’s facilities: SEAPRO. In order to meet the requirements of OPA 90, FWPCA, and 33 CFR 154.1045, the National Park Service intends to award a sole source contract.
