- Description
- Justification memo See attached justification memo The US Medical Center for Federal Prisoners had an emergent need for rental of a 140 Ton - 208/3 Phase Portable Chiller Unit. This requirement was an unusual and compelling urgency per FAR 6.302-2. This requirement was an emergency and time sensitive as the US Medical Center's 3-Building Chiller failed due to a faulty pump. The institution lost Air Conditioning to 3-Building, which houses our most critical medical inmates. The current increase in temperatures will make living conditions harsh in these units if air conditioning is not restored immediately. Rental of a 140 Ton - 208/3 Phase Portable Chiller is urgent and compelling based on the weather and the care of the critically ill inmates housed within these units. Facilities Staff are diligently working on a solution but in the interim we had to request emergency services for rental of a portable chiller for approximately 2 months. Due to the emergent situation, a posting on FedBizOpps (FBO) was deemed not practical as time was a factor per FAR 5.202. A verbal request for quote was determined to be the best method in order to procure the service quickly. Utility Systems Solution, Inc and Johnson Controls were contacted an responded with a quote. Award was made to Utility Systems Solution, Inc. US2 is registered in SAM, not listed on the Excluded Parties List and are not otherwise ineligible for award. The estimated cost of purchase order DJBP0414SP170264 is $31,970.00. It was my determination as the Contracting Officer, and the best interest of the Government, to verbally contact known vendors, request services, and obtain pricing and to award the purchase to Utility Systems Solution, Inc. Failure to do so would have resulted in serious damage to the government, as it would have affected the operation of the institution and overall health of the inmate population.
