SINGLE SOURCE DETERMINATION

FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

1. CONTRACTING AGENCY: US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Walla Walla District (CENWW-CT) 201 North 3rd, Walla Walla, WA 99362.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTION: This action is for a firm fixed price single source requirement using Fiscal Year 2022 Operations Maintenance funds for a Sanitary Disposal service contract for McNary Lock and Dam and recreational areas.

3. DESCRIPTION OF THE SERVICES/SUPPLIES: The US Army Corps of Engineers, McNary Lock and Dam, requires a five year, base and four option years, service contract to dispose of garbage and recyclable waste throughout the entire Project area. The source for this purchase is Waste Connections of Oregon Inc. (previous known as Sanitary Disposal Inc.), PO Box 316, Hermiston, OR. 97838. Total estimated cost .

4. AUTHORITY CITED: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) Soliciting from a single source. For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, 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:

A. JUSTIFICATION: Waste Connections of Oregon Inc. currently holds a contract with the City of Hermiston plus several cities within a 30–40-mile radius of Hermiston and is licensed in the State of Oregon and Washington. The contract is to provide refuse pickup and landfill service for residential, commercial, and other customers within the surrounding area. Sanitary Disposal Inc. is the only sanitation company that provides contract service in Northern Umatilla County and Eastern Morrow County. The McNary project has been a customer of Sanitary Disposal (now Waste Connections of Oregon) since its origin and has no other alternative for this scale of dumpster and drop box disposal service in the area.

B. IMPACT: Waste Connections of Oregon is the only contractor licensed to pick-up garbage and recyclable waste in this area. Without this contract McNary Project would have no way to rid themselves and the public of this hazard/sanitary waste which could result in health and safety issues.

C. ALTERNATIVES: There are no alternatives to single sourcing this service to Waste

Connection. Waste Connections and its predecessor in business has been providing these services since at least 2003 as a single source. There are no other company quotes in any of the files going back to 2003. See section 8 for more information.

6. EFFORTS TO OBTAIN COMPETITION: Waste Connections is the only authorized refuse and landfill service provider within a 30–40-mile radius of McNary Project. No other Contractors can satisfy the Government’s needs.

7. DETERMINATION OF FAIR AND REASONABLE COSTS: A price analysis will be conducted by comparing prices paid for service under previous contracts. No award will be made unless prices may be determined fair and reasonable.
