DEMONSTRATION THAT THE CONTRACTOR’S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OR NATURE OF THE ACQUISITION REQUIRES THE USE OF THE AUTHORITY CITED ABOVE (APPLICABILITY OF AUTHORITY). The Redi-Plex trailers are a constructed 4000 sq.ft temporary office space for housing HQ SOCCENT/J6 administration staff while the main facility undergoes renovation. a. Maintaining the incumbent precludes substantial non-recoverable duplication of cost (Ref: FAR 6.302(a) (2) (iii) (A)). Market research revealed that replacing the current contractor would mean an additional $20,000.00 to deliver and set up the five trailers. This cost has already been paid to the incumbent. The additional $20,000.00 for delivery and set-up fees would be lost and would have to be paid to a new contractor. It is not reasonable to expect to recover these costs through competition and it is not reasonable to pay for requirements the Government has already paid for. b. Bringing another contractor on board would mean displacing thirty-five plus office staff three to five weeks during the removal and replacement of trailers. Displacement would mean suspending operations between HQ SOCCENT/J6, coalition, and US Forces disrupting continuity, cohesion and possibly endangering ongoing operations. c. Additionally, bringing another contractor on board would mean having to temporarily move office computers and equipment from the incumbent’s trailers to temporary storage while the replacement trailers are set-up. Since there are no available facilities on base to store equipment additional costs would have to be incurred for temporary storage. Moreover, this would mean redirecting man-hours from mission to the transfer of equipment from incumbent’s trailers to temporary storage to replacement trailers possibly risking damage to the equipment and personnel. All things considered, maintaining the incumbent saves money, time, and resources.
