FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

JUSTIFICATION FOR LIMITED COMPETITION/SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION

JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL FOR

ACQUISITIONS UNDER THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1(b)(1), I hereby determine that the car wash listed on SHOP-PR-23-000641 is available from only one source, and competition is precluded as there are no substitutes available.

1. This acquisition is restricted to the following sole source:

Company: Rynse Company Address: 5201 SW 8th Street, Miami, FL 33134 Company Point of Contact and Phone Number: Justin Landau; 917-680-5575

2. The Better Car Wash service is estimated to cost $60,000 and is required to be performed between 9/4/2023-9/3/2023 Each vehicle will receive the exterior “Better” wash which includes an extra layer of cleaning for the vehicle vs. the “Basis.”

3. [Insert one of the paragraphs listed below, depending on the justification] Specific characteristics of Rynse Florida limit the availability to a sole source are as follows: The Miami Division AOR is 286 miles from Ft. Pierce to Key West. After extensive research, there is only one company, Rynse Florida, with a car wash facility in each of our office locations. Rynse has over thirty locations in South Florida.

4. Check and fill in all that are applicable for an Open Market Buy:

<Insert description> |_| These are "direct replacement" parts/components for existing equipment.

|X| Other information to support a sole source buy:

Rynse is flexible with adding/removing cars from the list Car washes can be redeemed at any of the 30+ locations Only known car wash based on market research to have multiple locations that cover Ft. Pierce to Key West.

1. Services. Contractor will provide the FBI with access to a network of vehicle wash facilities using a unique and proprietary software and process not available through other service providers.

2. Reason For Sole Source Request. Contractor provides a unique and proprietary car wash management solution that enables the FBI to obtain necessary vehicle wash services with greater location coverage (leading to increased mileage efficiency), utilization tracking, and billing accuracy compared to traditional methods utilized in the past. No other contractor possesses the software and the network of car wash locations required to service the FBI Miami fleet of vehicles.

3. Efforts to Obtain Competition. The Agent has made substantial efforts to procure a car wash service provider with the capabilities needed to service the FBI fleet of vehicles. However, no single service offers the capabilities provided by Contractor. Accordingly, Contractor is the best suited to provide the FBI the needed vehicle wash services.

It has been determined that Rynse is the only vendor signed up in SAM.GOV and small. eL Car Wash was considered but isn’t signed up in SAM.GOV and Rynse provides some of their locations along with a lot more locations with other subcontractors. Rynse’s high tech tracking is one of the most important aspects of this requirement. It helps track each RFID tag to see how many times the individual is using the car wash and where.
