Quick Summary
The National Park Service (NPS), under the Department of the Interior, has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for a sole-source acquisition. This document details the NPS's intent to award a contract to Houser Walker Architecture, LLC for the Biscayne National Park shoreline stabilization project. The purpose is to advance a 35% schematic design to 100% Construction Documents (CDs).
Scope of Work
The project involves the development of 100% Construction Documents for a shoreline stabilization effort at Biscayne National Park. This follows a previously developed 35% schematic design and Class B construction estimate by Houser Walker Architecture, which incorporated a revised hybrid approach of rock revetment and native vegetation after consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
Contract & Timeline

- Set-Aside: Not applicable (sole-source justification under FAR 6.302-1)
- Published: February 23, 2026
- Product Service Code: C211 (Architect & Engineer Services)
Justification for Sole Source
The NPS is justifying this sole-source award to Houser Walker Architecture, LLC because they are the "designer of record" for the initial 35% design. This decision is based on ensuring continuity, avoiding potential liability, and preventing increased costs associated with a different firm taking over the project. The acquisition is considered a logical follow-on to a previous task order, but the original IDIQ contract ceiling was met, necessitating this JOFOC. Limited market research was conducted, and while other firms with similar capabilities were identified, the unique position of Houser Walker Architecture as the original designer is the primary driver. The document notes no other interested sources have been indicated.
