MEMORANDUM TO THE FILE

Subj: JUSTIFICATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

FOR A FAR PART 13 ACQUISITION UNDER THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION

THRESHOLD

I. BACKGROUND:

1. FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) states for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contracting Officers may solicit from one source if the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization).

2. As required by FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i), this memorandum explains the absence of competition for this acquisition, as only one source will be solicited for this requirement (or for a portion of the requirement) and the requirement (or portion of the requirement to be sole-sourced) is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.

Camp Don Harrington is uniquely positioned to provide this training support to high school age cadets that are equal and comparable to their own cadets.

They provide the needed support and are familiar with the needs of the JROTC programs of instruction. Boys Scouts of America and the JROTC programs have developed a unique working relationship to train the cadets with maximum returns and minimal costs. Camp Don

Harrington offers the use of their facilities to include living, dining, and training facilities for both male and female Marine Corps JROTC cadets.
