REDACTED FINAL Limited Competition Justification_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification Review Document for a Limited Competition exception to full and open competition for Spiral 4 Wireless Services for the South Carolina Amory National Guard. The procurement is for wireless services, with Verizon identified as the sole source vendor due to the complexity of switching providers and the impending hurricane season starting 1 June 2025. The SCARNG is currently approximately 50% complete in transferring services from the previous carrier, and a transition to a new vendor would cause unacceptable delays in meeting the government's mobile communication needs.

The justification cites urgency in transferring phone services before hurricane season, with the 43rd Civil Support Team requiring continuous wireless connectivity for emergency response capabilities. The contract is a new contract under the DoD IDIQ Spiral 4 program, with a firm fixed price and O&M Army funding. The procurement is being pursued on a case-by-case basis to minimize service disruption, with Verizon being the only vendor capable of meeting the agency's requirements without substantial service interruption. The anticipated contract award date is 6 May 2025, with the Contracting Officer Blake S. Cromer certifying the fair and reasonable cost of the action.
