Justification for Limiting Competition
This is a Memorandum for Record justifying limiting competition, citing FAR 12.201-1 for commercial acquisitions below the simplified acquisition threshold. Exceptions to fair opportunity include "Unusual and urgent need" and "Only One Awardee is Capable." Market research indicated limited availability of comparable commercial space meeting the specific requirements in the Big Bend AO. The identified source is considered the only responsible source, and the proposed price of $500/month is deemed fair and reasonable and consistent with prior awards.
Response & Evaluation
This is not a solicitation for proposals. It is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract. Any firm believing it can meet the stated requirements and challenge this sole source determination must submit a capability statement by the response date. The identified source has been deemed fair and reasonable.
