The U.S. Coast Guard issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice on February 26, 2026, for emergency snow removal services at the USCG Academy in New London, Connecticut. The justification authorizes a single-source award to Bonner Electric, Inc. for snow hauling and disposal services valued at $60,000, which was approved under Simplified Acquisition Procedures due to urgent public safety circumstances. Excessive snow accumulation at the installation had created hazardous conditions including restricted emergency vehicle access, obstructed pedestrian routes, and increased slip-and-fall risks that required immediate remediation. The Coast Guard determined that only one contractor was reasonably available to mobilize quickly and meet the specialized operational and installation access requirements necessary for the emergency response. Under the contract, Bonner Electric, Inc. is responsible for providing all labor, equipment, and supervision to load, transport, and dispose of accumulated snow at government-designated disposal locations within USCGA property, with in-water disposal authorized by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. The lack of time to conduct full competition and the limited availability of contractors during winter emergencies provided the rationale for the sole-source award, with price reasonableness determined through comparison to the Independent Government Estimate.
