Sole Source for Galley Service - NH Guam.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a sole source acquisition under FAR Subpart 13.5 for food services at the U.S. Naval Hospital in Guam. The contract, valued at $1,501,145.00, is being awarded to Global Food Services, LLC for the period of 1/1/2025 through 12/31/2025 to provide labor management, supervision, transportation, and operation of a full-service galley.

The sole source justification is based on Global Food Services being the only vendor already on the island with the required training and base access credentials. Market research conducted between 7/8/2024 and 7/10/2024 found no other qualified vendors could meet the January 2025 start date. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price arrangement under FAR 13.201 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This is described as a short-term contract while transitioning from NAVSUP authority to DHA authority, with plans for a future competitive procurement that will include a base year plus options periods under the Randolph-Sheppard Act. The Defense Health Agency's San Diego Contracting Division is the contracting activity.
