3. Description of the Supplies/Services

Labor support services at the Work in Process Control Area (WIPCA) of Corpus Christi Army Depot (CCAD) maintenance activity. The work includes support of the Material Receipt Activity (MRA) and Maintenance Depot Work in Process (WIP) for repair parts, local fabrications, local procurement, and Depot Maintenance Owned Material. This includes performing receipt, stow, issue, and local delivery activities of material.

4. Justification Rationale for Use of Sole Source

Restriction of sources for this acquisition is justified in accordance with FAR 13.501(a)(2)(i). A recompete contract has been delayed and a one month, sole-source contract is required to prevent a lapse in service for our customer, CCAD. Bowhead’s sister company, Bowhead Support Group has all of the staff currently performing the work under SP3300-14-C-5005 and they understand the requirements to ensure effective transition for the follow-on award. Bowhead is the only 8(a) firm able to complete this requirement with the current time constraints.

5. Market Research and Interested Sources

The current contract was solicited via SP3300-14-R-5002 as an 8(a) procurement and yielded nine offers.

Bowhead was awarded resultant contract SP3300-14-C-5004 and has successfully performed for the last 5 years and 6 months.

The follow-on contract was solicited via SP3300-19-R-5004 as an 8(a) procurement and eight offers responded.

The award is currently pending issuance.

6. Determination

As a result of the above, and in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), the Contracting Officer has determined that it is in the Government’s best interest to conduct this acquisition by limiting sources to the only reasonable source available. Bowhead is the only source that can provide a short-term solution to continue services to the government since it is an 8(a) requirement and a sister entity maintains the incumbent staff and management.
