S201--Evanston, IL CBOC Janitorial - 4/29/24 - 3/31/25

Under Statutory Authority Public Law 109 Sec. 502 and VAAR 819.7008, the Government anticipates

entering into single-source procurement negotiations with Modesto Management LLC, a certified verified Service-Disabled Veteran-owned Small Business (SDVOSB), for a Janitorial Services contract at the Evanston Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) located in Evanston, IL. A determination that only one SDVOSB can meet the requirement is not required. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes. This single source short-term contract will be for a period of performance of one year (4/29/2024 3/31/25) at which time a new contract will be solicited as a total SDVOSB set-aside.

This award is in compliance with VAAR 819.7008:

(a) A contracting officer may award a contract to a VIP-listed service-disabled veteran-owned small

business (SDVOSB) using other than competitive procedures provided -

(1) The anticipated award price of the contract (including options) will not exceed $5 million;

(2) The requirement is synopsized and the required justification pursuant to FAR 6.302-5(c)(2)(ii)

is posted in accordance with FAR part 5;

(3) The SDVOSB has been determined to be a responsible contractor with respect to

performance; and

(4) In the estimation of the contracting officer contract award can be made at a fair and

reasonable price that offers best value to the Government.

(b) The contracting officer's determination to make a sole source award is a business decision wholly

within the discretion of the contracting officer. To ensure that opportunities are available to the

broadest number of SDVOSBs, this authority is to be used only when in the best interest of the

Government.

(c) A determination that only one SDVOSB can meet the requirement is not required. However, in

accordance with FAR 6.302-5(c)(2)(ii), contracts awarded using this authority shall be supported by a

written justification and approval described in FAR 6.303 and 6.304, as applicable.

(d) When conducting a SDVOSB sole source acquisition, the contracting officer shall ensure the business

meets eligibility requirements in 819.7003.

(e) A procurement requirement estimated to exceed the legislative threshold of $5 million shall not be

split or subdivided to permit the use of this SDVOSB sole source authority.
