The document presents a justification and approval (J&A) for establishing City Light and Power (CLP) as a sole source vendor for utility services related to the Automated Fire Plus (ARF+) Range construction at Fort Campbell, KY. The U.S. Army Engineer District in Louisville seeks this waiver from competitive selection, as CLP is the only provider of electric utility services within the Fort Campbell area. The project will be awarded under a small business set-aside solicitation using Military Construction (MILCON) funding. The justification is rooted in 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, which stipulate that only one responsible source can meet the government’s requirements. No other electric utility provider can perform the necessary work without impacting mission readiness, as CLP owns the utility system infrastructure. Market research confirms there are no alternate sources for these services, and since this requirement is tied to a specific project, no competition-enhancing actions are planned. The document underscores the critical need for electric utility services to adhere to government requirements and facilitate operational readiness at Fort Campbell.
