JOFOC FCC Yazoo City

Water and Wastewater Utility Service

Comments: The conclusions from this market research will be incorporated into the document for providing

Water and Wastewater Utility Services for FCC Yazoo City.

(9) Any other facts supporting the use of other than full and open competition:

The provision of water and wastewater utility service is essential for the orderly operation of FCC Yazoo

City, which is designed to collectively house with a rated capacity of approximately 3,904 inmates. The complex consists of a FCI Yazoo City Low, FCI Yazoo City Medium, FCI Yazoo City USP and a FCI Yazoo

City Camp. State and county regulations and ordinances limit the providers of this service to only one.

(10) A listing of the sources, if any, that expressed, in writing, an interest in the acquisition:

There were no other sources which expressed an interest in this acquisition or that would be able to provide the service to meet the minimum requirements of the government.

(11) A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services required:

Contracting and requirement staff should continue to conduct appropriate market research to determine if sources capable of satisfying the agency’s requirement exist and to overcome competition barriers.

Deregulation laws are presently nonexistent and no alternative source of service is currently available. A review of government procurement database shows only the FBOP is currently issuing orders to the Public

Service Commission for water and wastewater utility requirements. FCC Yazoo City is a consumer of services from the public utility. If another potential source emerges, the agency will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible. FCC Yazoo City will continue to monitor the trends in the utility industry to see competition or sources that may be able to meet the minimum needs of the government and its utility requirements. Should opportunities arise in the future FCC Yazoo City will take appropriate action.

(12) Contracting Officer’s Certification:

I hereby certify that this request for Justification and Approval of Other Than Full and Open Competition is made in good faith, that the supporting data and information are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief, and that I would not be making this request if it were feasible to fully compete this requirement. I further certify that this request is not the result of lack of advance planning or a desire to expend funds while those funds are still available.
