Why Nobody Else Bid on Camp Parks
Thursday's board gave Calidad Industries $28,341,792 for five years of base operations at Parks Reserve Forces Training Area and recorded one bid. The last time this requirement was awarded, FPDS coded it extent B, not available for competition, and the award notice said why in one sentence. The annual price has gone up 2.1 times since 2016 with no competitor ever pricing against it.
Thursday's Army board carried $28,341,792 to Calidad Industries for performance-based facilities maintenance at Dublin, California, and described the field in the sentence this desk reads more than any other: "Bids were solicited via the internet with one received."
One bid on a five-year base operations requirement usually means something you can work with. A bench that thinned out, an incumbent nobody wants to fight, a PWS written narrow, a response window too short to price.
This one means none of those.
