- Notice of intent to award a sole source purchase order to Delta Fair Inc. The award will be made for the purchase of the services described below. This procurement is being conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 6.302-1, for Other than Full and Open Competition and FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. All inquiries and concerns must be addressed in writing to USPFO for Tennessee Contracting Division Attn: Randal Halbrooks, PO Box 41502 Nashville, or sent by email to randal.halbrooks@ng.army.mil. Telephone requests or inquiries will not be accepted. Responses to this notice shall be received no later than 5:00 PM Central Daylight Savings Time, Friday, July 25, 2008. A determination not to compete this requirement is within the discretion of the Government. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government in future procurements. The point of contact for this announcement is Randal Halbrooks, Contract Specialist, at randal.halbrooks@ng.army.mil. The following justification and approval is provided for other than full and open competition for this purchase. 1.This request for justification for other than full and open competition is for an on-site advertising package for the Delta Fair and Music Festival purchased through Delta Fair Inc., requested by the Recruiting Division of the Tennessee Army National Guard. 2.This package will feature the Tennessee National Army Guard (TNARNG) in all media advertisements associated with the fair. This package would also include a Tennessee Army National Guard Day, an opportunity for the TNARNG to host an event with a celebrity appearance at the fair, signage opportunities at the Demolition Derby and the Monster Truck Ride areas of the fair and space available at the fair to set up demonstrations in an effort to increase awareness in the TNARNG in an effort to increase the number of people enlisting in the TNARNG. 3.The total estimated value of this advertising package is $50,000.00. 4.Statutory Authority: FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. 5.The Delta Fair and Music Festival is the only organization in the area with the potential to provide an advertising media at a fair capable of reaching the desired number of people in the demographic group that the Tennessee Army National Guard wishes to enlist. 6.Efforts to solicit other contractors have not been made as the Delta Fair Inc. is the only fair in the West Tennessee area capable of reaching the desired number of people in the demographic group that the Tennessee Army National Guard wishes to enlist. 7.The anticipated cost of this acquisition is determined fair and reasonable by comparison of prices proposed in other advertisement packages of this nature. This same advertising package has been offered to and sold to other commercial vendors. 8.Efforts were made to identify other sources of competition by searching for vendors registered under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code of 561920 for Convention and Trade Show Organizers in Tennessee. No other fair organizations in the West Tennessee area were found who could offer an advertisement package that could reach the number of people in the Tennessee National Guards desired demographic group that Delta Fair Inc. could. 9.Delta Fair Inc. is the only responsible source available who can provide an advertising package of this type in the West Tennessee area. 10.No other sources have expressed an interest in this acquisition. 11.No actions to remove barriers to competition will be taken, as Delta Fair is only fair organization in West Tennessee who can provide advertising to potentially reach the desired number of people in the demographic group for potential recruits into the Tennessee Army National Guard. 12.This justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
