Lease of parking spaces for USDA/APHIS/GSA in Ft. Lauderdale

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)/Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)/Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) Facility in Ft. Lauderdale, FL intends to award a sole source, Firm Fixed Priced Purchase Order to PM Service Corp, 5081 SW 48th Street Davie, FL 33314-4805, to lease parking spaces for the remaining 29-vehicles up for auction with USDA/APHIS/GSA in Ft. Lauderdale.

This P.O. is a follow on order to last year's Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contract# AG-6395-C-16-0140 which expired 05/31/2017. No further effort will be made to find potential new sources due to the fact that the vehicles are already located on the lot and consideration to any other new sources would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. (See 41 U.S.C. 253 (d)(1)(B).)

This procurement is being conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1The statutory authority is 41 U.S.C. 253( c )(1)
The property or services needed by the executive agency are available from only one responsible source and no other type of property or services will satisfy the needs of the executive agency.

PPQ Florida initially chose P.M. Service Corporation in FT Lauderdale as sole vendor for this lease project primarily due to geographic location and the low rate quoted to their Support Services Technician. Following are reasons that justify this decision:
• P.M. Service Corporation is close to the GSA Lease office
• PPQ Florida has a high concentration of field offices in Southeast Florida so it makes sense to have the staging lot in FT Lauderdale. Nearby PPQ field offices are:

Miami Plant Inspection Station, 6302 NW 36th ST, Miami, FL 33122
Port Everglades Office- 1800 Eller Dr. FT Lauderdale, FL 33316
Davie Office- 4380 Oakes Rd., Davie, FL 33314
FT Pierce Office- 2741 Crossroads Pkwy, FT Pierce, FL 34945
ARS Facility offices- 13601 Old Cutler Rd., Miami, FL 33158
Riviera Beach office- 1 East 11th ST, Riviera Beach, FL 33404
Vero Beach office- 8075 20 Street, Vero Beach, FL 32966

Vehicles will be staged at this lot for other offices throughout PPQ Florida, but given the high concentration of offices in the Southeast, FT Lauderdale is the perfect location.
