JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION

OVERSEAS CONTRACTING ACTIVITIES

1. I recommend that Embassy Male use other than full and open competition for the acquisition of bulk storage with delivery services for embassy property.

2. Nature and/or description of the action being approved. The company will provide bulk storage space with delivery and pick-up service of property belonging to Embassy Male as post has no established office or place warehouse to place items.

3. A description of the supplies or services required to meet the agency’s needs. The Embassy will inventory all items that will be stored with the company in their provided temp and security-controlled space. RYZZ Pvt Ltd will then store the items in an organized manner that allows them to identify the inventoried items, track the items when delivered or picked-up by updating the inventory, and authorize post to verify inventory quantities unannounced.

4. An identification of the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition. FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Embassy Male has been seeking this service since the last service gave notice they were no longer going to stay in this business. An exhaustive search finally turned up this source that would store, inventory, and deliveiy/pick-up and had a temp controlled space and security.

5. A demonstration that the proposed contractor’s unique qualifications or the nature of the acquisition requires use of the authority cited (for sole source acquisitions;

also required for unusual and compelling urgency where more than one offer will not be solicited). This is the only vendor that has been found in Male that is providing this service and facilities.

6. A description of efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable. Post looked online, and queried other businesses/sources for leads and only this provider has turned up.

7. A determination by the Contracting Officer that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. The overall cost from the previous service provider is not significantly more than the proposed cost of this new service.

8. A description of the market survey conducted and the results or a statement of the reasons a market survey was not conducted. Market survey was not conducted.

Market survey was not conducted as this a very unique service in Maldives.

9. Any other facts supporting the use of other than full and open competition. N/A

10. A listing of sources, if any, that expressed, in writing, an interest in the acquisition.

None other than RYZZ Pvt Ltd.

SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED

11. A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services required. Embassy Colombo competes all procurements over micro purchase threshold. Any procurement over $12K will be advertised on Embassy website to give equal opportunity all interested parties. However, this current procurement was unable to follow this procedure due to unavailability of other sources.
