X--Notice of Intent to Sole Source

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in Falls Church, Virginia plans to award a sole source, firm fixed price purchase order to SP Plus Corporation of Chicago for employee parking services at its Headquarters office. This procurement is being conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, allowing for other than full and open competition. SP Plus is the designated parking vendor provided by the building lessor, fulfilling the parking requirements tied to the USFWS Headquarters office lease. Due to the absence of street parking and lack of alternative commercial parking options in the vicinity, this contract is restricted to SP Plus. The applicable NAICS code for this service is 561990 with a size standard of $12 million. While the notice does not constitute a request for competitive proposals, firms with relevant interest and capability were invited to respond by September 10, 2020, though the decision to compete remains at the Government’s discretion. The contract details indicate this is an office-related service acquisition facilitated by the Department of the Interior. The primary point of contact for this procurement is Lauretha Randle at USFWS. This sole source approach streamlines the process given the unique circumstances surrounding parking availability and lease obligations at the USFWS Headquarters location.
