Sole Source Justification and Approval

The General Services Administration, Region 9, has approved a sole source firm-fixed price indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) interim contract with JCI, the incumbent contractor, to provide operational and maintenance services at the DeConcini United States Customs House in Tucson, Arizona. This interim contract, effective January 1, 2020, is intended to ensure uninterrupted services for a twelve-month period while a new 8(a) re-compete contract is prepared for full O&M services for the entire building. The contract includes a six-month extension option, with associated pricing adjustments. The base contract is valued at $594,300, consisting of a monthly service fee of $37,025 for the 12-month base period totaling $444,300, and an additional maximum ordering limit of $150,000. Should the six-month extension be exercised, the monthly fee will increase to $37,765.50, totaling $226,593 for the extension period. This acquisition follows the Simplified Acquisition Procedures outlined at FAR 13.501(a) and is managed by the General Services Administration’s Acquisition Management Division in San Francisco, California. The contract is designated under NAICS code 561210 and ensures continuity of critical operational support for government facilities in Tucson. Molly Fine serves as the point of contact for this contract. The interim nature of this award allows the agency to maintain essential services without disruption while transitioning to a competitively awarded long-term contract.
