Evaluation
This is a sole source justification, not a solicitation for proposals. The action is time-limited to allow the agency to complete an administrative process regarding the previous award. The incumbent contractor is being utilized due to their immediate readiness and credentialing, preventing unacceptable delays and risks to sanitation.
Additional Notes
- The justification references RFO 12.102, RFO 12.201-1, and FAR 13.5.
- Market research was limited due to the urgent nature and the incumbent's readiness.
- The price is considered fair and reasonable, based on comparison to the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) for the original competitively awarded contract.
