- JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION 1.Contracting Agency: Department of Veterans Affairs, Seattle Regional Office 346. 2.Nature and/or Description of Action: Notice of Other Than Full and Open competition for the procurement of Chapter 36 Educational and Vocational Counseling Services. 3.Description of Supplies or Services: Chapter 36 Educational and Vocational Counseling Services having an estimated value of $31,875. 4.Statutory Authority: The services are being procured under the authority of 38 U.S.C 8127(b), FAR 6.302-5 and VAAR 819.7007. 38 U.S.C. 8127(b) expressly authorizes the use of noncompetitive procedures for small business concerns owned and controlled by veterans. 5.Demonstration of contractor unique qualifications: The requested interim Chapter 36 Educational and Vocational Counseling Services are to meet the immediate needs of returning veterans until a longer term services contract can be procured. A qualified SDVOSB has not been identified for this procurement. A VOSB with experience and acceptable performance from a prior national or local contract is best suited to meet the need based on having approved personnel in place, and familiarity with current contract requirements. 6.Description of efforts made to ensure offers are solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable, including notice publication: See 4. and 5. above. A proposed contract action will be synopsized at www.fbo.gov in accordance with FAR Part 5. 7.Fair and reasonable price determination: The anticipated cost is fair and reasonable to the Government based on using recent history of price for this type of service and comparison with the independent government estimate. 8.Market research: Market research was developed to support the independent government estimate. Data is also available from the recently completed national contract for the same services, which was competitively procured. 9.Other facts: None. 10.A listing of sources expressing an interest in writing: None. 11.Statement of action for barriers to competition: None. 12.Contracting Officer certification: I hereby certify that the above justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
