4. Identification of the authority.

This action is being taken in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1901 or the authority of 41 U.S.C 1903, as implemented by FAR subpart 13.5 Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Products and Commercial Services.

5. Demonstration that the proposed contractor’s unique qualifications or the nature of the acquisition requires use of the authority cited.

This requirement is for renewal of office trailer rentals that has been provided by Williams Scotsman Inc. Only Williams Scotmans offers trailers that include furniture and are the size necessary to meet CBP’s needs. In addition, in order to use an alternate source, DHS would have to remove the current modulars in place and risk losing office space for the National Air Security Operations Center. This would substantially increase the cost of this procurement. See also below No. 8 for justification.

6. Description of efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable. (The discussion should include whether a www.sam.gov notice was or will be publicized, as required by FAR s 5.301, 6.305(a). If the justification covers a brand name item, this section should address compliance with FAR 5.102(a)(6)).

A notice of intent to sole source will be placed on www.sam.gov.

7. Determination by the contracting officer that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

The contracting officer determines that the anticipated price(s) will be fair and reasonable based on historical pricing and comparison to the IGCE.

8. Description of market research.

Only one source is reasonably available due to lack of vendors near CBP NASOC-SV.

Without WILLSCOT, Air and Marine Operations personnel will be without modular office spaces to conduct operations. The National Air Security Operations Center personnel will not have office space; therefore, daily operations and work cannot be performed.

Sole Source Justification for Simplified Acquisitions exceeding the SAT including brand name Rev. 4/2022 SSJ No.: XXX-XX 3

The internet was searched for a list of contractors that could provide the required space and maintenance services. Market research showed other companies capable of providing space but not the size or the furniture needed to accommodate all personnel. The price point was also much higher than the current on site Vendor, Willscot.

Modular solutions confirmed that they did not rent furniture and that the set up and leasing amounts were more than our current rates with Willscot. Furniture is necessary for this requirement to meet CBP’s minimum requirements for use of the space. This requirements is for a turnkey trailer to provide space for CBP agents and, to function as needed, must include furniture.

Conexwest offered small connex boxes compared to the trailer space currently in place, and the small connex boxes would not meet CBP’s space needs.

Market research did not identify another vendor that could meet CBP’s requirements. Further, the other vendor that offers a trailer without furniture would result in additional set up and tear down costs that make it unreasonably costly.

9. Any other facts supporting the justification.

See above

10. A listing of the sources, if any that expressed, in writing, an interest in the acquisition.

There were no other vendors interested to move forward as they could not meet the requirements and the locality that we needed.

11. A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisition for supplies or services required.

We currently have approved funds to build a permanent structure on location so these modulars would be removed after the next few years but until the time the structure is built we cannot operate without these modulars that we have in place.

12. DHS intends to post the requirement pursuant to FAR 13.501(a)(1)(iii) and 6.305(a) or for brand name FAR 13.501(a)(1)(iv) and 5.102(a)(6).
