Single Source Justification 20250122_Redacted-.pdf

This document is a Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) Determination Memorandum for a sole source acquisition by the 158th Communications Squadron. The document justifies a sole source contract with Gannon & Scott in Cranston, RI for the destruction of old NPR Computer Harddrives stored in Building 170. The destruction must comply with NSA/CSS Policy Manual 9-12 and require specific transportation and storage methods.

Market research confirmed Gannon & Scott is the closest authorized destruction site to South Burlington, Vermont. The justification notes that due to the strict classification of the equipment, it is unlikely other vendors could complete the destruction process. The contracting officer, Kristen Lucey, certified the accuracy of the sole source justification, with the procurement subject to fund availability and additional government approval.
