This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole-source contract for potable water and sanitary sewer services at the Military Ocean Terminal Concord (MOTCO) in California. The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Rock Island (ACC-RI) is seeking three fixed-price contracts with existing contractors for water and sewer services from fiscal year 2025 to 2030. The contracts will cover potable water services and sanitary sewer services for tidal and inland areas, with the 596th Transportation Brigade of the Surface Deployment and Distribution Command responsible for supply and distribution.

The justification notes that the California Utilities Commission regulates these public utility services, and market research confirmed that only specific contractors can provide these services in the MOTCO area. The contract period spans five years, with a base year and four one-year options, ending on September 30, 2030. The procurement is being conducted under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as a non-competitive acquisition, justified by the unique geographical constraints and the high infrastructure costs associated with utility service provision in the area.
