About this file
This document is a Single Source Determination form for a contract with AUF Clan to provide landside access to the National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa. The Department of Commerce, NOAA Acquisition and Grants Office (AGO) requires unlimited access via privately owned lands and continued maintenance of driveways and footpaths in Fagatele Bay. The purpose is to enable NOAA Office of Law Enforcement (OLE) and DMWR personnel to conduct landside enforcement and deterrent patrols for marine conservation. The sole source justification is based on AUF Clan providing the safest and most accessible route through privately held family lands, with no alternative access methods available. The contract is expected to be delivered by September 2025, and the landowners require payment for property access with no exceptions for law enforcement.

SINGLE SOURCE DETERMINATION USING
SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP)
FOR AN ACTION NOT EXCEEDING THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD
(AUTHORITY: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1))
143011-25-0176
1. Agency and contracting activity. Department of Commerce, NOAA Acquisition and Grants Office
(AGO).
2. Description of supplies or services required to meet agency needs (including the estimated value).
Unlimited landside access via privately owned lands and continued maintenance of driveways and footpaths into the National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa, Fagatele Bay. The intended use is to provide NOAA OLE and DMWR personnel the ability to walk/drive onto privately held lands in order to conduct landside enforcement and deterrent patrols of the MSA, MMPA and ESA within Fagatele Bay. Expected delivery date is September 2025.
3. Identification of the single source or the brand name to be solicited.
AUF Clan, P.O. Box 5158 Pago Pago, AS 96799.
Phone number: 1.684.782.0111 Email address: carolynfaumuina@gmail.com
4. Supporting rationale. Only one source or brand name is reasonably available as detailed below:
• Other - Only one source is capable –
Provides the safest landside route into and out of the sanctuary. The most accessible routes are through privately held family lands. Without landside access, the only way to conduct enforcement and deterrent patrols would be via a patrol vessel. NOAA OLE does not have a patrol vessel based in American Samoa. Without this contract, accessing the sanctuary causes undue hardships and stress for the enforcement team. The inability/issues of accessing the sanctuary via landside affect the mission by denying/limiting access to the sanctuary where violations have and continue to occur.
5. Market Research.
The landowners require payment from the public in order to access their property and there are no exceptions for law enforcement.
6. Technical/Requirements Representative Certification
I certify that this requirement constitutes the Government’s minimum needs and the supporting data provided herein is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
