Intent to Sole Source a Contract with JEL Management LLC for 5, 376 sq. ft. Modular Classroom Facility

The USPFO for Missouri Purchasing and Contracting Office, 7101 Military Circle, Jefferson City, MO 65101 intends to sole source a contract with JEL Management LLC for 5,376 sq. ft. Modular Classroom Facility currently leased and utilized for the C-130H Weapons Instructor Course located in St. Joseph, MO 64503-9307.

The Advanced Airlift Tactics Training Center AATTC required a C-130H Weapons Instructor Course Modular Classroom Facility in fiscal year 2015. The requirement was fulfilled with a competitively awarded Base plus 2 Option Year Lease. The current lease is scheduled to end on 14-Sep-2018. The Modular Classroom Facility was intended to be a temporary solution until funding could be obtained and construction could be completed for a permanent building. At this time, the certainty for a permanent building is unknown which has caused the justification to purchase the existing facility.

The Government estimates that the cost of replacing the existing facility to allow competition would be approximately $282,848.00. The Base Civil Engineer's estimate was derived from the cost of unhooking the existing facility, returning the existing facility to the vendor, and installing a new facility. This does not include the cost associated for loss of utilization of the existing facility during transition. All duplication costs would exceed any cost savings resulting from competition.

This contract will be awarded in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 - Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.

This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. However, any party that believes it is capable of meeting this requirement may submit a written capability statement that clearly supports and demonstrates their ability to provide the part required. Capability statements must be received by the response date and time of this notice (see below). Submissions will be reviewed to determine if they can meet the requirements. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.

Response Date: no later than 11:00 a.m. Central Time Zone on 12 July 2018. Email inquiries shall be submitted to Mr. Forrest Hancock @ forrest.a.hancock.civ@mail.mil.
