Justification for Award
The award to C2RL, Inc. was justified as a sole-source action under 41 USC 1901, as implemented in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), due to an absence of competition. C2RL, Inc. previously provided Type A & B design services for the same project and possesses the necessary negotiated expertise and knowledge of the project's complexity, including PV solar panels and electrical systems with roof mounting infrastructure. This prior involvement and specialized understanding made them the most advantageous source for these follow-on Type C services. Consequently, a public notice was not publicized, as an exception under FAR 5.202(a)(13) applies.
