The Point of contact for this notice is: Phaedra Fuller, Contracting Officer, National Park Service, Olympic National Park, 600 E. Park Avenue Port Angeles, WA 98362. Telephone: 360-565-3009 Email: Phaedra_Fuller@nps.gov. JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION for SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITIONS OVER $3,000 AND UP TO $100,000 (See FAR 13.106-1) Requisition Number: 0040329286 1. NATURE AND/OR DESCRIPTION OF THE ITEM/SERVICE BEING PROCURED AND ITS INTENDED USE (INCLUDE THE ANTICIPATED COST): Non-competitive award to Arrow Septic Tank Pumpin of Port Angeles, WA for continuing septic pumping service at various locations throughout Olympic National Park, WA (OLYM). A purchase order was determined necessary and in the Government's best interest to pay for service provided between November 2016 and March 2017 after the previous contract ended, through the period of April 2017 to June 2017 for when the septic pumping requirement will be solicited and a new contract awarded. A purchase order was awarded in the lump sum, not-to-exceed amount of $45,424 at a firm-fixed rate of $0.46/gallon, for the period from November 2016 to June 2017. The unit price was determined to be fair and reasonable compared to paying an average of $0.42/gallon over the past five years at OLYM, and compared to having paid a not-to-exceed unit price of $0.71/gallon (from 2013 to present) and $0.69/gallon in 2012 at nearby national parks located in WA east of Seattle. 2(a). SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION RATIONALE: 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(2) and FAR 6.302-2, Unusual and compelling urgency. 2(b). EXPLAIN (INCLUDE CRITICAL DELIVERY OR PERFORMANCE DATES, AND WHEN YOU BECAME AWARE OF THE REQUIREMENT. PROVIDE A SPECIFIC STATEMENT OF THE IMPACT ON GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS, FINANCIAL OR OTHERWISE, IF THE REQUIRED DELIVERY OR PERFORMANCE DATES ARE NOT MET): Septic pumping service is a year-round necessity that supports park owned systems and buildings such as headquarters offices, outlying ranger stations and visitor centers, campgrounds, vault toilets, and concession operations that spans the entire park spread out amongst four counties. Septic pumping is regulated by the State of Washington, which has the right to enforce shutdown of NPS facilities for health hazards associated with septic overflows. The previous contract ended before a new solicitation was issued, and a purchase order was necessary to bridge the gap of time between when the contract ended and when the government anticipates a new contract to begin. Arrow Septic Tank Pumpin' is the only vendor on the Olympic Peninsula that has ever responded to NPS solicitations for pumping services. Obtaining competition for what are typically common services is a recurring problem in the northern and western areas of the Peninsula due to the geographic isolation of those areas. 3. MARKET RESEARCH (EXPLAIN THE RESULTS OR WHY ONE WAS NOT PERFORMED. STATE WHETHER ANY OTHER OFFERS WERE RECEIVED OR ANYONE EXPRESSED INTEREST): This service was previously competed as a combined synopsis/solicitation commercial service using FAR Part 12 procedures that was a small business set-aside, awarded for one base year plus four option years to Arrow Septic Tank Pumpin. At the time of award, Arrow Septic Tank Pumpin was the only vendor that submitted a quote in response to the solicitation, and has continued to provide the entire park's septic pumping that includes several areas that are remote locations that require significant travel time to reach (Staircase, Quinault, Hoh) from Port Angeles, WA. No other vendors have come forward in recent years expressing interest in providing this same service. The National Park Service will be issuing a new solicitation in May 2017 for septic service parkwide for Olympic National Park that will be awarded for one base year with option years, the same way as before. Government anticipates the new septic service contract to start July 2017. 4. IF THIS IS A DETERMINATION FOR SOLE SOURCE, THE CONTRACTING OFFICER CERTIFIES: (a) Only one source is available, or urgent and compelling circumstances exist. (b) The anticipated price will be determined fair and reasonable using the price analysis techniques described in FAR Part 13.106-3(a). /s/ Colby Mackley, West District Buildings & Utilities Supervisor, Olympic National Park 5/30/17 /s/ Phaedra Fuller, Contracting Officer, Olympic National Park 5/30/17 /s/ Rod Roberson, Delegated Assistant Bureau Competition Advocate, Olympic National Park 5/30/17
