MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

SUBJECT: KNOX-SAT-2019-0159. Sole Source Justification for W9124D-19-Q-6327, Meals for JCLC Camp Panther.

The camp is being held at Boy Scouts of America (BSA) Camp Bud Shiele in Gastonia, NC. This location already has a dining facility, and there are no other contractors authorized to provide meals at this facility. To attempt to locate a dining facility outside of Camp Bud Shiele would incur unnecessary cost in travel for the 400 cadets and cadre.

The authority cited is FAR 6.302-3(a)(2)(i), which states:

“When the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source, or, for DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard, from only one or a limited number of responsible sources, and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, full and open competition need not be provided for.

Supplies or services may be considered to be available from only one source if the source has submitted an unsolicited research proposal that; Demonstrates a unique and innovative concept or, demonstrates a unique capability of the source to provide the particular research services proposed; offers a concept or services not otherwise available to the Government; and does not resemble the substance of a pending competitive acquisition.”

Therefore, in accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(i), this requirement will be satisfied by a sole source award to Piedmont Council BSA, Inc. The Piedmont Council BSA is not a small business concern and has an active SAM registration with no exclusions.
