Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition

1. Contracting Activity: 128 MSG/MSC 1919 East Grange Avenue Milwaukee, WI 53207

2. Description of Action: Pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302- 1 (a)(1) and 6.302-1(b)(3) the 128 Air Refueling Wing (ARW) has determined that the relocation of Communications Services for the 128th ARW, meets the criteria established for other than full and open competition. It is further determined that only one responsible source and no other supplies and/or services will satisfy agency requirements.

3. Description of Supplies/Services: Sole Source Justification and Approval for AT&T to relocate fiber optic communications utilities on "Guard East" site location situated at 1919 East Grange Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53207. The total estimated dollar value of this service is $36,000.00.

4. Authority Cited: 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements - sole source, pursuant to FAR 6.302-1

5. Reason for Authority Cited: AT&T owns the public communications utility. All work to be done on the communications utility must be contracted through AT&T. AT&T may subcontract for some of the utility work, but the government must contract direct with the owner under this circumstance. The utility company, AT&T, will not allow work by any other contractors on utility owned distribution system.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: It was determined that contracting directly with AT&T to be the only feasible method for this acquisition because AT&T own this public utility. To have a competitor run a new lines would drastically increase the cost and would not be to the benefit of the government. To date, no other sources have written to express an interest in this procurement.

7. Actions to Increase Competition: The 128 Communications Flight worked with AT&T to reduce the price from $69,656 to $35,589. We accomplished this cost savings by removing unnecessary labor/material from AT&T’s original quote. This lower figure is more in line with the IGEs developed by 128CF with support from our Cyberspace Systems Integrator (CSI) MSgt Cory Moore.

8. Market Research: It was determined that contracting directly with AT&T to be the only feasible method for this acquisition because AT&T own this public utility. To have a competitor run a new lines would drastically increase the cost and would not be to the benefit of the government.

9. Interested Sources: To date, no other sources have written to express an interest in the subject procurement.

10. Other Facts: None
