Quick Summary

This action ensures continuity of essential services while a competitive follow-on contract is procured.

This justification covers the continuation of essential snow and ice removal services from entrances, driveways, roadways, parking areas, handicapped accessibility areas, approaches, and around portals (scanners/detectors) within the Federal property. Services include management, supervision, manpower, equipment (heavy equipment and snow shovels), and supplies, provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Evaluation
This is a justification document, not a solicitation for proposals. The Contracting Officer will determine the fairness and reasonableness of the anticipated price by comparing it to the current price and the Government Cost Estimate. Pricing for this extension was not requested or evaluated during the base contract award.
Eligibility / Set-Aside
This action is justified under FAR Subpart 6.302-2, "Unusual and compelling urgency." The government determined that no other contractors are available to begin services by the current end date, nor do they possess the specific building knowledge or security credentials required for this shortened period. Therefore, this is a non-competitive action.
Additional Notes
The current contractor, B&W Homes, has a satisfactory performance history and intimate knowledge of the facility. Due to the urgency and need to avoid a lapse in service, additional offers were not solicited. The justification will be posted within 30 days after the modification execution. The government intends to conduct thorough market research for future acquisitions to encourage competition.
