Description

JUSTIFICATION FOR SINGLE SOURCE AWARDS IAW FAR 13.106-1 (OVER MICRO-PURCHASE THRESHOLD($3K) BUT NOT EXCEEDING THE SAT ($150K)) IAW FAR13.104, COs must promote competition to the maximum extent practicable to obtain supplies and services from the source whose offer is the most advantageous to the Government, considering the administrative cost of the purchase. When competition is not practicable, IAW FAR13.106-1(b), COs solicit from a single source for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. COs may solicit from one source if the CO determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization). IAW FAR13.106-3(b)(3),COs are required to include additional statements explaining the absence of competition (see 13.106-1 for brand name purchases) if only one source is solicited and the acquisition does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold (does not apply to an acquisition of utility services available from only one source) or supporting the award decision if other than price-related factors were considered in selecting the supplier. This template when completed can be used to document single source awards IAW FAR13.106-3(b)(3). Note: Statements such as "only known source" or "only source which can meet the required delivery date" are inadequate to support a sole source purchase. 1. PURCHASE REQUEST OR REQUISITION NUMBER: 506-15-2-141-02251A. PROJECT/TASK NUMBER N/A 1B. ESTIMATED AMOUNT: $143,620.00 2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: Furniture Reconfiguration and new furniture Installation at the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System, (VAAAHS) 2215 Fuller Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48105 from April 1, 2015 to May 29, 2015. The new contract for base year plus 4 option years for furniture services is currently in process, the solicitation closes 1 April 2015 and should be awarded by 1 June 2015. 3. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: Worksquared Inc.,4633 Patterson SE STE A, Grand Rapids, MI 49512 is the vendor currently providing moving services and has a unique knowledge of the VAAAHS, having provided furniture services since 2010. No other vendor surveyed was able to start providing services 1 April 2015. 4. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE, WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES: Worksquared is the vendor currently providing moving services since 2010 and this vendor has unique knowledge of the VAAAHS. There are several large reconfiguration projects scheduled in April 2015, such as the 8th floor moving project. This vendor is able to start providing services 1 April 2015. 5. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND RESULTS OR STATEMENT WHY IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED: A Market study was performed with negative results, due to the imminent start date. An intent to sole source was published to FBO with 3 responses: JMS worldwide in NYC, NY, which only provides freight forwarding, Green Truck Moving in Nashville, TN, which only provides moving services and King Freight, which provides freight services only. None of vendors provide furniture reconfiguration or installation services. 6. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
