 Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) is codified under 48 C.F.R. 31. FAR Subsection 16.505 (b)(2)(i)(C)) allows for the Government to award work on a sole source
basis to existing contractor on the basis in the interest of economy and efficiency because it is a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract, provided
that all awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original order.
 
Ronsons SDVOSB P&L JV-1 was awarded design-build construction task order GS-10P-15-LT-D-0037/GS-P-10-15-LT-7037 for roof/HVAC/Gutters, and Soffitt repairs at the Lynden LPOE located in Lynden, WA and the Sumas LPOE located in Sumas, Washington under the existing competitively awarded Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business set-aside Western Service Centers (WSC) Design-Build Construction Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (WSC Design- Build Construction IDIQ MATOCs) (GS10P14LTD0034 (Burton Construction, Inc), GS10P14LTD0035
(Macnak Construction LLC), GS10P14LTD0036 (VetFedPacific Tech JV 1), and GS10P14LTD0037 (Ronsons SDVOSB P&L JV1) pursuant to FAR 16.505. All Western Service Center WSC Design-Builld Construction IDIQ MATOCs awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original task order and the work being added falls within the overall scope of the WSC Design-Build Construction IDIQ MATOCs and need to be solicited. It is the GSA's position that incorporating this work under the existing task order with Ronsons SDVOSB P&L JV-1
will result in economies of scale, with both cost and time reductions as the GSA will be able to add the work to an
exist task order instead of soliciting the work under a separate procurement. Specific detail for the exception to
fair opportunity are included in the attached approved justification.
