SSD_JA - FSR Precast Concrete - signed_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a Navy contract with Baker Engineering and Risk Consultants, Inc. The contract is for fabrication and testing of one-way precast concrete panels using a shock-tube test set-up to simulate panel response to blast loads, validating pre-cast concrete construction for future Navy Earth-Covered Magazine standards. Baker Engineering is the only testing facility capable of meeting the Government's requirements, with a 360-day performance period. The justification cites "Other Reasons" for sole-source selection, specifically that the facility has sufficient size, load generation capacity, and instrumentation capability to accurately simulate critical aspects of specimen blast response, including controlling limit states, dynamic properties, and deformation.
