- Established Presence: MJUSD is the owner of buildings 1595A/B and has operational experience with these facilities.
- Cost Efficiency: Located on-site, eliminating travel costs. They share already employed staff with STARBASE, leading to significant cost savings for the government.
- Experienced Personnel: Employees are already trained and experienced in maintaining these facilities, including specialized heavy equipment, reducing risk and training costs.

- District Policy: MJUSD policy prohibits third-party contractors from being around children without a district representative and requires separation by continuous fencing, making MJUSD the only authorized vendor.
