Quick Summary
The U.S. Department of State, U.S. Embassy Rome, has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for Mitigation Activities to Reduce Indoor Radon Concentrations. This JOFOC justifies a sole-source, Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract award to RADEA Stammhaus GmbH for installing radon mitigation systems at six official residences in Rome, Italy. The justification is based on an "unusual and compelling urgency" due to a health and safety threat posed by high radon levels. The estimated value is $438,264.12.
Purpose & Scope
This requirement addresses high radon concentrations in official residences of the Tri-Mission in Rome. The scope of work includes the installation of Sub-Slab Depressurization (SSD) systems and exhaust fans, associated electrical and masonry work, and comprehensive radon testing and measurements. RADEA Stammhaus GmbH will also supervise outsourced specialized masonry work.
Contract Details
- Contract Type: Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP)
- Estimated Value: $438,264.12 (VAT included)
- Period of Performance: To commence immediately after award, with completion within 50 calendar months to avoid interference with official events.
- Authority Expiration: January 31, 2026.
Eligibility & Set-Aside
This is a sole-source justification, not an open competition or set-aside. The awardee, RADEA Stammhaus GmbH (based in Germany), was selected due to its specialized expertise in radon analysis and remediation, extensive experience, and unique qualifications.
Submission & Evaluation
As this is a justification for a sole-source award, traditional proposal submission and evaluation criteria are not applicable. The justification cites FAR 6.103-2 (Unusual and Compelling Urgency) and FAR 5.101(b)(2) as exceptions to the requirement for publishing a synopsis on SAM.gov due to the urgent health and safety concerns.
Additional Notes
Preliminary market research was conducted, but further research was deemed unnecessary given the urgency. The Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable.
