3. Description of Supplies/Services: This action will provide uninterrupted preventive maintenance and routine and emergency repairs of commissary facilities and equipment at DeCA commissaries located in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The proposed six month modification would extend the contract performance period to 30 September 2020 and increase the estimated contract value as follows:

Original Amount: €16,871,950.02 ($19,849,352.96)

J&A Amount: €1,871,000 ($2,206,865.36)

New Total Amount: €18,742,950 ($22,056,218.32)

* Exchange rate $1.00 = € .85

4. Authority Cited: Authority Cited: 10 U.S.C., §2304 (c)(2), FAR 6.302-2, Unusual and compelling urgency.

5. Reason for Authority Cited:

As described at FAR 6.302-2(a)(2), when the agency’s need for the supplies or services is of such an unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits bids or proposals, full and open competition need not be provided for. Pursuant to FAR 6.302-2, the incumbent contractor is the only available source because award to any other source at this time would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling overseas commissaries requirements and an interruption of services. Contract HQC010-16-D-0002 with WISAG Technical Military Support Services GmbH & Co KG will expire on 31 March 2020.

Modification HQC010-16-D-0002 P0005 exercised the option under DeCAARS 52.217- 4500 Option to Extend Services for six months from 30 September 2019 - 31 March 2020.

The commissary benefit is the cornerstone of the military quality of life and it is essential that DeCA provides fully operational commissaries. Preventive maintenance and routine and emergency repairs of equipment and facilities is an essential part of providing food safety as well as a safe and secure shopping environment to the military communities in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands. An interruption in services would negatively impact DeCA’s mission to provide for the military and their families.

WISAG Technical Military Support Services GmbH & Co KG has been performing this contract successfully over the past three years providing services that conform to the contractual requirements and terms and conditions. The company has the intimate knowledge and resources in place to continue uninterrupted service. WISAG Technical Military Support Services GmbH & Co KG is the only source available that has the necessary infrastructure and quality assurance measures in place to provide uninterrupted service for the extension period in accordance with the DeCA commissary requirements.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: A sources sought notification was not issued for this requirement due to the fact no contractors other than the incumbent is capable of providing the required services during the proposed extended period without causing unacceptable delays, disruption in service, and unrecoverable duplication of cost.

7. Fair and Reasonable Price Determination and Contracting Officer Certification:

Contract HQC010-16-D-0002 was awarded under full and open competition. The contractor is performing successfully. To calculate the price for the contract extension period, the Government will take the price for all CLINS of the final option period and prorate it to a six-month value. Based on market research and a comparison to historical prices paid for similar efforts, the prices are still competitive and a new procurement would not yield more advantageous pricing. Based on the aforementioned, the contracting officer determines the prices offered by WISAG Technical Military Support Services GmbH & Co KG to be fair and reasonable.

8. Market Research: Market research did not reveal any contractors having the ability to facilitate the successful and expeditious execution of the services required via this modification. Due to the complex nature of the procurement, it is unreasonable to expect that anyone other than the incumbent will be able to effectively start-up and perform the requirements in a timely manner due to the anticipated delay in notice of a new award.

9. Other Factors: Not applicable.

Interested Sources: WISAG Technical Military Support Services GmbH & Co KG is the only known source that can perform at the required performance level while maintaining continuity of services. To date, no other sources have written to express an interest in performing the six months interim period.

10. Action to Increase/Foster Competition: DeCA Contracting Branch Europe is actively working to award a competitive contract by 14 August 2020. This effort is in the pre-solicitation stage of the follow-on acquisition, which will be conducted as a full and open competition. To foster competition, obtain economies of scale in pricing, and provide long-term incentives, the performance period for the follow-on contract was increased from three years to four (24-month base period, plus three 12-month option periods in accordance with FAR 17.202(a)).
