MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

SUBJECT: Sole Source Justification for Riverside Military Academy, Camp Warrior JCLC.

This requirement is to provide Meals, Facility Usage, and Lodging in support of Cadets participating in the JROTC Cadet Leadership challenge for the United States Army Cadet Command (USACC). The training will be conducted from 3 June 2019 through 8 June 2019.

This requirement has previously been only one contractor’s response resulting in a sole source award. Market research identified no socio-economic group entities under NAICS 721214. A Sources Sought was posted to FedBizOps on 9 May 2019 through 13 May 2019 and returned one respondent. Upon further conversation with this respondents, it was determined they would be subcontracting this work which would result in them possibly utilizing the same facility that the government wishes to sole source with. Market research determined that there is not a reasonable expectation to obtain quotes from two or more small businesses in the area of consideration. NAICS 721214 is listed on the WOSB listing, however current market research does not indicate a WOSB entity being interested or able to perform this requirement. Therefore, this requirement shall be awarded as a Sole Source to Riverside Military Academy (Large Business).
