Quick Summary
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Kennedy Space Center (KSC) has published a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity for Engineering Services During Construction (ESDC) of Repair Culverts, Phase 2 (PCN 99588.1), at KSC, Florida. This justification outlines the basis for awarding a firm-fixed-price order to Jones Edmunds & Associates, Inc. (JE) under the Southeast Regional Architect and Engineer (SERAE) contract, citing unique site-specific knowledge and efficiency as primary factors.
Scope of Work
This requirement is for Engineering Services During Construction (ESDC) related to the repair of culverts at various locations within Kennedy Space Center.
Contract Details
- Opportunity Type: Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (Sole Source)
- Awardee: Jones Edmunds & Associates, Inc. (JE)
- Contract Vehicle: Firm-fixed-price order under the Southeast Regional Architect and Engineer (SERAE) contract.
- Set-Aside: None specified (Sole Source Justification)
- Product Service Code: C219 (Other Architect And Engineering Services)
- Place of Performance: Kennedy Space Center, Florida
Justification for Sole Source
The justification for awarding this work to Jones Edmunds & Associates, Inc. is based on FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(C), which permits a logical follow-on to a previously issued order. Jones Edmunds was previously involved in the design phase of this project and possesses unique, site-specific knowledge critical for efficient execution. Engaging a new firm would incur significant time and cost, potentially delaying construction and increasing project risk. The original SERAE contract under which this order is placed was competitively awarded, providing fair opportunity to all awardees.
Pricing and Future Considerations
Fair and reasonable pricing will be ensured through the use of pre-negotiated rates, technical evaluation, and potential negotiation. NASA KSC will continue to examine the market for alternative solutions for future acquisitions.
