Protestant Chaplain Services for AFRH

INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE John P. Goodloe, Sr., SS-AFRH-19-043 The Bureau of the Fiscal Service (FS), on behalf of the Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH) Washington, DC Campus, intends to make award to John P. Goodloe Sr., on a sole source basis under FAR Authority 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B), for Protestant Chaplain Services. Currently, Chaplain Goodloe serves as the incumbent Chaplain. John Goodloe has provided pastoral/chaplain services for the residents of AFRH for over 15 years. The residents of the AFRH face many challenges physically and emotional as they transition through the retirement stage of life. Mr. Goodloe has developed unique and confidential trust relationships as he has cared for the residents of AFRH. This relationship extends beyond the resident's as family and friends have also entered into the ministry provided by Chaplain Goodloe. It is logical that Chaplain Goodloe continue to care for the resident's spiritual and emotional requirement's. As an incumbent Chaplain he cannot provide historical information on the resident's emotional and well-being to a successor Chaplain as they are confidential to the spiritual advisor. The unique relationships have been developed over time and cannot be replaced without hardship to the resident's, many of whom are suffering with mentally incapacitating physical needs that require a stable counselor and trusted friend. The AFRH has determined that there is no other source at this time that can provide for the unique needs associated with each resident's confidential spiritual needs, as can be provided by John Goodloe.
