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 procurement of Gas and Electric Installation 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: Construct and install gas and electric utilities to "Guard East" site location situated at 1919 East Grange Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53207.

Construction and Installation of electrical and gas is attached to the system owned by the local public utility, WEC Energy Group. WEC Energy Group, through several subsidiaries, is the sole provider and distributor of electricity and natural gas in Wisconsin as well as areas of Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota. In addition to supplying electricity and natural gas, its Wisconsin Energies (WE) subsidiary, provides pre-screened, certified contractors for construction, engineering and other projects related to electric power transmission and distribution in its coverage area.

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: WEC Energy Group is the primary provider of electricity and natural gas through its subsidiary, WE, the local public electric utility. WE requires customers to contract directly for installation of electric and natural gas services through its engineering and construction office. W h i l e , WE subcontracts much of the utility work to its pre-screened, certified contractors, it retains responsibility for the integrity of its transmission and distribution systems. WE does not permit outside contractors or other public utilities to perform such services on its systems.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: A search of Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Department of Energy (DOE) and GSA (all of which provide some sort of utility support) was conducted during market research, however, WE is not under contract with any of the listed parties.

7. Actions to Increase Competition: A discussion with procurement office at DOE and search of DLA’s website indicated no current contracts with WE or any other utility in the Milwaukee, WI area. The Contracting Officer also searched FedBiz Opportunities (FBO) history of sources sought for 365 days from the perspective of “Utilities/ WI and United States” to find a similar procurement in an effort to contact the contracting officer on procurement, no sources sought was found. The Contracting Officer determined that a Special Notice will be posted on FBO.

8. Market Research: The Contracting Officer researched other utility projects posted on FBO and explored the DOE, DLA and GSA Area-wide Public Utility Contracts program. The Contracting Officer contacted the DOE Western Area Power Administration (Western) Desert Southwest Region (DSW), Procurement Office, but found it was a provider of purchased power, not the services required. Further, a review of the DLA contracts and coverage areas did not yield any additional options other than WE.

9. Interested Sources: A notification will be posted to the FBO website announcing the intent to award to Wisconsin Energies. Any interested party may submit concerns or interests for this acquisition to the Contracting Officer.

10. Other Facts: An independent government cost estimate (IGCE) was completed to determine price reasonableness for this scope of work. The Contracting Officer has determined the price to be fair and reasonable comparing IGCE, price proposal and similar industry type work, specifically natural gas and utility service award.

11. Technical Certification:

I certify that the supporting data under my cognizance, which are included in the justification are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.

By comparing the independent government estimate and historical pricing data with the proposed contract price, this acquisition is determined to be a fair and reasonable price.
