USEB182303 - 3. JA FAR Part 6 Under SAT _2.0_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for other than full and open competition for a sole source contract award to Bowen Collins & Associates LLC for design updates to repair base parking lots at the Utah Army National Guard. The contract (W50S9A24PA014) was completed in December 2024 and involved a design update for parking lot repairs, with construction anticipated to begin in fiscal year 2025.

The J&A cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(c)(1) as authority for the sole source award, explaining that Bowen Collins & Associates LLC is uniquely qualified as the original A-E firm that completed the initial design in 2020 and subsequent design update in 2024. The document justifies the sole source by noting that engaging a different A-E firm would require significant time and resources to understand the original design and existing conditions, potentially causing delays and increased liability risks. The anticipated cost was determined using an IGE based on Local AE IDIQ hourly rates adjusted for inflation. The contract value is redacted but falls below the threshold requiring an acquisition plan per DFARS 207.103(d)(i)(B).
