SF 1013 - JUSTIFICATION & APPROVAL FOR FAR SUBPART 13.5 SOLE SOURCE

(INCLUDING BRAND NAME) ACQUISITIONS

ACQUISITION TITLE: Cafeteria and Vending Services for Enterprise Computing Center 4. Identification of the authority being used (Check the box that applies): ‫ ܈‬41 U.S.C. 1901 – Simplified acquisition procedures. ‫ ܆‬41 U.S.C. 1903 – Special emergency procurement authority. 5.

The proposed contractor is the only source presently identified that has demonstrated both willingness and capability to perform this requirement at the Martinsburg Campus. Continued performance by this source will also support uninterrupted food service operations at the facility while the Government continues to assess opportunities to increase competition in future acquisitions. 6. A description of efforts to ensure that offers were solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable, including whether a notice was or will be publicized as required by FAR subpart 5.2 and, if not, which exception under FAR 5.202 applies: The Government conducted market outreach for this requirement through a Request for Information / Sources Sought Notice (RFI/SSN) posted from March 13, 2026, through March 29, 2026, to identify potential sources capable of performing the required cafeteria and
