Authority 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) FAR Part 6.302-1 The property or services needed by the executive agency are available from only one responsible source and no other type of property or services will satisfy the needs of the executive agency

PPQ Florida has chosen P.M. Service Corporation in FT Lauderdale as sole vendor for this lease project primarily due to geographic location and the low rate quoted to our Support Services Technician. Following are reasons that justify this decision:

Vehicles will be staged at this lot for other offices throughout PPQ Florida, but given the high concentration of offices in the Southeast, FT Lauderdale is the perfect location.

A DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT OFFERS ARE

SOLICITED FROM AS MANY POTENTIAL SOURCES AS IS PRACTICABLE,

WHICH EXCEPTION UNDER FAR 5.202 APPLIES:

None, this is a follow on order to Contract# AG-6395-C-16-0140 which expired on 05/31/2017. No further effort will be made to consider any potential new sources due to the fact that the vehicles are already located on the lot and award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements.

(See 41 U.S.C. 253 (d)(1)(B).)

A DETERMINATION BY THE CONTRACTING OFFICER THAT THE

ANTICIPATED COST TO THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE FAIR AND

REASONABLE, AND THE BASIS FORTHAT DETERMINATION:

The price of $5.00per vehicle per day for parking is the price charged regularly to non- Governmental customers, and are provided by the vendor to the general public in substantial quantities in the course of normal business operations.
