Limited Competition Justification Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification Review Document from the National Guard Bureau supporting a sole-source procurement for nightly, unaccompanied lodging services for military service members. The contracting activity is the 233rd Regional Training Institute (RTI) Arkansas under USPFO-AR, with the requirement managed by a Regimental S4 NCO. The procurement is a new firm fixed-price contract funded by O&M, Army, with an estimated price that has been redacted. The contracting officer is Ralph Grinnell (ralph.d.grinnell.civ@army.mil, 520-708-4896), and the document was prepared as of March 5, 2026.

The justification supports limiting competition based on the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(a)(1) or 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as implemented in FAR 6.302-1, establishing that only one responsible source can satisfy the requirement. The Camp Robinson Billeting Office is identified as the sole provider of on-post nightly lodging for RTI students attending Military Occupational Specialty and Advanced Leadership courses at the 233rd RTI in North Little Rock, Arkansas. The previous contract (W91FTZ0020002) was awarded February 1, 2020 with competitive status "Not Available for Competition" under authority 10 U.S.C. 230 as implemented in FAR 13.106-1. Market research indicates that commercial hotels in the area charge significantly higher rates than the Camp Robinson Billeting Office, and no alternative on-post lodging is available. The requirement was previously procured on a sole-source basis, and no significant changes have occurred to justify opening competition. There are no posting requirements, and no interested sources beyond the incumbent have been identified.
