NWWP40002300186SML

***NOAA'S ACQUISITION & GRANTS OFFICE, WESTERN ACQUISITION DIVISION-BOULDER, NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE (NWS), SOUTHERN REGION (SR), PEACHTREE CITY WEATHER FORECAST OFFICE (WFO), INTENDS TO NEGOTIATE, ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS, UNDER AUTHORITY OF FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), WITH CUBESMART, L.P. LOCATED IN MALVERN, PA FOR THE RENTAL OF ONE 800 SQUARE FOOT SELF-STORAGE SPACE TO BE USED IN PEACHTREE CITY, GA.

***THE SOLE SOURCE DETERMINATION IS BASED ON THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION'S (NOAA) REQUIREMENT THAT CUBESMART, L.P. IS THE ONLY VENDOR ABLE TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE STATEMENT OF WORK.

MULTIPLE STORAGE FACILITIES WITHIN 20 MILES OF THE LOCATION WERE VISITED; HOWEVER, NONE HAD THE DOUBLE ROLL UP DOOR SETUP REQUIRED FOR SECURED TRAILER STORAGE. CUBESMART, L.P.’S STORAGE SPACE IS ALREADY IN USE BY THE PEACHTREE CITY WFO, AND A FORCED RELOCATION WOULD REQUIRE NWS TO RELOCATE ALL EXISTING MATERIAL AND EQUIPMENT CURRENTLY STORED AT THE SITE. IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN CONTINUITY OF SERVICE, MEET ALL REQUIREMENTS, AND AVOID UNNECESSARY EXPENSE TO THE GOVERNMENT, THE SAME STORAGE SPACE IS REQUIRED. CUBESMART, L.P. IS THE ONLY SOURCE ABLE TO PROVIDE USE OF THE CURRENT STORAGE SPACE.

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: 08/01/2023 THROUGH 07/31/2028
