    The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its National Cemetery Administration, intends to procure grounds maintenance services for the Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery from October 1, 2024, to April 30, 2025. This procurement will be a seven-month firm-fixed-price contract awarded to Worrell Contracting Co. Inc., a certified service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB). This sole-source contract, justified under 41 USC § 3304(a)(5) and FAR 6.302-5, is essential due to the continuity needed in service provision, as the incumbent contractor is satisfactory in performance. Current market conditions and the need for consistent quality make this the most viable option. The contract value remains under $5 million, ensuring compliance with competitive guidelines. While minimal market research was undertaken, it confirmed Worrell's eligibility and capability to fulfill the maintenance needs. The cemetery's operational standards necessitate uninterrupted service to honor veterans properly, thus preventing any potential lapses that could lead to congressional inquiry. The government plans a long-term competitive solicitation for subsequent contracts among SDVOSBs.
