M -- SECURITY SERVICES, VARIOUS LOCATIONS, PORTLAND, OR The General Services Administration, Public Building Service, Facilities Services (10PMM), Auburn, Washington, intends to issue a (*SOLE SOURCE*) contract for security services to The Association for Portland Progress (the Association). The Association provides the security services under the Agreement for Downtown Clean and Safe District Management Services on public property under the control of the City of Portland. GSA's minimum requirement is to provide maximum assurance of a safe and healthy workplace for Federal employees. Because the Association is under contract with the City of Portland to perform security services for property under the control of the city under uniform District-wide security standards, the Association has the unique capability to provide security services to GSA which are coordinated and integrated with the security services provided to other property owners in the District. Due to the critical importance of coordination and control in implementing effective and responsive security measures, GSA's needs most effectively can be satisfied (*ONLY*) by contracting with the Association for the required services. For additional information contact the Contracting Officer, Donna Hutchens, at (253) 31-7355. See numbered Note 22.
