Contract & Timeline
- Type: Justification (Sole Source Determination using Simplified Acquisition Procedures)
- Estimated Cost: $7,822.45
- Set-Aside: No Set-Aside (Sole Source)
- Published: May 1, 2026
- Place of Performance: Amarillo, TX 79108, United States
Justification & Rationale
The sole source determination identifies Allens Tri-State Mechanical, Inc. as the only viable vendor. This decision is based on the extreme urgency caused by the critical failure of the wastewater system, which presents an immediate threat of sanitary sewer overflow (SSO), hazards to personnel, and potential violations of federal occupational safety mandates. Allens Tri-State Mechanical, Inc. has already performed a technical inspection, possesses site-specific data, and has a ready-to-execute proposal. Seeking additional solicitations would increase exposure to biohazardous conditions and delay critical repairs, jeopardizing life-saving weather warning services.
