About this file
This memorandum provides justification for limiting competition on a solicitation from the Joint Task Force at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The solicitation seeks 7901011KF30-626 KABA RFID electronic locks, lock controller boards, reader kits, and battery holders from KABA to replace existing locks at barracks facilities. The total estimated value is above $25,000.
The justification cites FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold where only one source is reasonably available due to urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, or industrial mobilization. Maintaining the same KABA lock system is necessary for continuity of servicing and maintenance in the austere environment, where storage and stocking of multiple lock systems would hinder operations. The memorandum was approved by a contracting officer and J4 action officer on September 13, 2023.
