Limited Competition Justification 116th FY25 Ice and Reefer KO Signed 14JAN2024_Redacted.pdf
Jan 14, 2025, 3:05 PM UTC
The VAARNG 116th IBCT has submitted a justification for a sole-source contract totaling $100,740 to acquire up to 228,640 lbs. of ice and eight reefer trailers for an Exportable Combat Training Exercise at Ft. Barfoot, scheduled for June 2025. Due to regulations mandating the use of authorized vendors for food supply, only Holiday Ice is capable of fulfilling the requirement, as their only competitor, Reddy Ice, has historically failed to meet demands and has not responded to inquiries. The justification maintains that limited competition is necessary to comply with procurement regulations and vendor availability.
