4. Authority:

Action using Simplified Acquisition Procedures

[Xl FAR 13.106-l(b) (1): For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g. urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, or industrial mobilization.

5. Reason for Authority Cited Flaming Arrow is currently the only BSA camp in Central Florida available to conduct JCLC. Flaming Arrow provides as close as possible all the required elements and has sufficient space to billet cadets and capability to conduct mandatory training to meet the regulatory intent.

Flaming Arrow has its own dining facility operations and first rate certified training facilities.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: Researching suitable JCLC locations in Florida begins each August.

Instructors have inquired with the Florida Adjutant General office to request use of Camp Blanding (FLARNG). Due to summer annual training, its facilities are not available to support JCLC. Other military facilities in Florida are neither available nor feasible due to both global operational support requirements and distance from the Tampa Bay area. Flaming Arrow is the most cost-effective option to wheelja Typewritten Text wheelja Typewritten Text train and feed this number of cadets. Our research indicates expenditures exceeding $200K is the norm for other JCLCs. I estimate that expenditures for JCLC Camp Panther (Hillsborough) will come in under $100K. We will continue to request that the Florida National Guard and local recruiters provide support for Florida JROTC programs in meeting mandatory training requirements.

9. Additional information to support the justification: In the event that the use of Flaming Arrow is not approved, the Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco area schools would have to search for alternate locations of undetermined availability.
