    MRA_G1_Wall_Design_JA_FY25_DRAFT_Redacted.pdf
    The document outlines a Justification Review for a sole-source procurement contract by the U.S. Army Mission and Installation Contracting Command at Fort Knox, pertaining to the design, production, and installation of Pentagon wall displays. It cites authority under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(5) and FAR Part 6.302-5, allowing for other than full and open competition due to the unique capabilities of the incumbent vendor, Blair Inc., a women-owned small business (WOSB). The previous contract was terminated due to government delays, necessitating a new contract to maintain continuity and meet aesthetic requirements for the displays. Market research showed limited competition, as other vendors lacked the necessary experience and capabilities, solidifying Blair Inc. as the only viable contractor. The document includes certifications from various officials affirming the accuracy of the justification and that the anticipated costs will be fair and reasonable. The performance period for this new firm fixed price contract is set from May 15, 2025, to May 14, 2026, with an estimated value under $4 million.
