JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL

FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

1. Contracting Office – Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA), Store Services Support Division (CCQT); 1300 E Avenue / Fort Lee, Virginia 23801.

2. Type of Contract Action – A Firm Fixed Priced (FFP) modification to extend contract services for six months on contract HDEC08-15-C-0019 with Defense Working Capital Funds (DWCF). Estimated amount is $415K

3. Description of Supplies/Services – Acquisition is for Shelf Stocking, RSHA, and Custodial Services at the Redstone Arsenal Commissary, located in Huntsville, Alabama.

4. Authority Cited - The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition that is applicable to this Justification and Approval (J&A) is FAR 6.302-2, Unusual and Compelling Urgency.

5. Reason for Authority Cited – Several delays throughout the procurement process resulted in a delay of the award. An award to any other source at this time would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the requirement and an interruption of services. In the absence of these services, the commissary could be shut down and the military members and their families will be denied their full commissary benefit provided to them by statue under 10 USC §2481 and 10

USC §2484.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition – The justification in support of the agency’s request not to issue a sources sought notice is predicated upon the fact that the required services are deemed to only be available without interruption from the current contractor. Logistical Customer Service Inc., has been performing the services as a satisfactory level for the past year. DeCA is the middle of an evaluation for proposals received in response to a re-compete solicitation for this requirement.

7. Fair and Reasonable Cost Determination – In accordance with FAR Part 15, the following techniques will be used to determine fair and reasonableness: FAR 15.404-1 (b) (2) (v) Comparison of proposed prices with independent Government cost estimates and FAR 15.404- 1(b) (2) (vii) Analysis of data other than certified cost or pricing data provided by the offeror.

8. Market Research and Interested Sources – As indicated above, an award to any other source at this time would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the requirement and an interruption of services.

9. Actions to Increase/Foster Competition - This is currently a Competitive Small Business Set-Aside Requirement (C3). The solicitation was issued on April 8, 2020 and closed on June 10, 2020. Technical Evaluation Board is scheduled to commence January 25, 2021.

10. Other Factors – N/A Technical Certification – “I certify that the supporting data under my cognizance, which are included in this justification, are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.”
