Single Soure Justification_19TH2026P1478.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification for a simplified acquisition not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold submitted by the U.S. Department of State, Office of the Procurement Executive, on behalf of the Overseas Post Bangkok (U.S. Embassy Bangkok).

The contracting activity seeks to award a sole source contract to Marriott Executive Apartments Town Hall, Sukhumvit 49, Bangkok for the provision of temporary quarters (TQ) accommodations. The requirement is to provide a furnished, three-bedroom, pet-friendly residence with kitchen and laundry facilities to support an incoming officer's family of two adults, two children, and two small pets attending school in close proximity to the Embassy. The Government determined that only one source—Marriott Executive Apartments Town Hall—reasonably meets all mandatory criteria due to the unique time-sensitive nature of the requirement, including specific location constraints, pet-friendly requirements, room configuration, and proximity to the school and Embassy. Market research confirmed no other available properties satisfy the complete combination of location, room configuration, and pet-friendly accommodations within the required timeframe. The contracting officer certified that the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable based on comparison to similar properties in the area. The justification was signed by Contracting Officer Ramon Menendez-Carreira on 7/16/26.
