About this file

This is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) document for simplified acquisition procedures to repair security perimeter fencing and 5 security gates at US Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater, FL that were damaged during Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The estimated amount is $24,000 and the justification cites "unusual and compelling urgency" under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(2).

RS Security Consulting is being selected as the sole source contractor because they are the only vendor in Clearwater that is registered in SAM.gov, can accept the award immediately, and has parts on hand to quickly repair the fence. The urgency stems from the security risk of non-military personnel potentially accessing restricted areas through the damaged fence and inoperable gates that currently require manual entry. The document indicates that for future acquisitions, the unit will conduct market research to establish regular maintenance contracts with local vendors to help prevent similar emergency situations. The JOFOC is signed by CWO William Stevenson, FACENG Airsta Clearwater, but awaits contracting officer signature.

JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP) FAR 13.106-1(b)

SOLICITATIONS MAY BE LIMITED TO ONE SOURCE ONLY IF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER DETERMINES THAT ONLY ONE SOURCE IS REASONABLY AVAILABLE. THIS DETERMINATION MUST BE SUPPORTED WITH FULL JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE FROM THE CUSTOMER. WHEN THE CUSTOMER DESCRIBES AN ITEM WITH A PURCHASE DESCRIPTION WHICH LIMITS THE AVAILABILITY TO ONE SOURCE, THE JUSTIFICATION MUST EXPLAIN WHY THE ITEM IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL MEET THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENT. STATEMENTS SUCH AS "ONLY KNOWN SOURCE" OR "ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN MEET THE REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE" ARE INADEQUATE TO SUPPORT A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE. Do not use marketing language in this document. Language such as “This company has made its mark,” “This company is recognized as industry’s best,” and “This company is the leader in…” is unacceptable.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE. Repairs to security perimeter fencing and repairs to 05 security gates which sustained damages during Hurricane Helene and Milton

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED. Vendor was able to visit unit and provide quick quote for the crucial repairs to the fencing surrounding CG Airsta Clearwater, FL. Vendor has provided repairs in the past and has the parts on hand to quickly repair fence which is a security issue as non military employees can access the Airstation property and enter restricted areas of the Air Station.

A DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT QUOTATIONS OR OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS MANY POTENTIAL SOURCES AS PRACTICABLE (INCLUDE YOUR MARKET RESEARCH EFFORTS HERE). Local companies were contacted to come onboard and provide quote for repairs. Many of the vendors were not registered in SAM which is needed in order to have award provided for services needed to fencing. RS Security Consulting have an active SAM registration and can quickly come onboard once an award is made to initiate needed repairs to perimeter fence and security gates.

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES.

Only vendor found within Clearwater, FL that can accept an award, registered in SAM and have the parts needed to repair.

EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE. Because of the security, this fence is in dire need of repair to prevent un-authorized access to the Air Station grounds. Entry gates are not operational and require manual entry to personnel entering and leaving the Air Station.

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED. Unit will perform market research for vendors within a local commuting area to that provide needed service maintenance on entry gates operating system on a monthly or quarterly basis. Having a vendor under an award contract will keep the system operational and will provide the unit with emergency service if entry gates becomes inoperable.
