Demonstrate the effectiveness in replacement of the existing building envelope in conjunction with net-zero energy building goals that have been set by the Department of the Army.

This contract action was accomplished using other than competitive procedures because a statute exists that expressly authorizes or requires that the acquisition be made from a specific source or through another agency (FAR 6.302-5); specifically, Sole source awards under the 8(a) Program. Per FAR 6.302-5 a J&A is not required for this award.

The Mission and Installation Contracting Command- Presidio of Monterey (MICC-POM) has a new requirement to demonstrate the effectiveness in replacement of the existing building envelope in conjunction with net-zero energy building goals that have been set by the Department of the Army. The Directorate of Public Works has chosen to demonstrate the effectiveness of Architectural Insulated Metal Paneling Systems due to the previous construction methods utilized within Fort Hunter Liggett.
