This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a non-personal service contract issued by the 30th Contracting Squadron at Vandenberg Space Force Base. The contract, identified as F4D3D15268AW01, is for Groundwater Wells Operation and Maintenance Support at Vandenberg SFB. The estimated contract cost is redacted in the document.

The contract covers operation and maintenance of four groundwater wells (wells 4, 5, 6, and 7a) located on Vandenberg SFB. The contractor will provide all necessary personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, and materials required for well operations and maintenance. Services include preventive maintenance, standard repairs, and emergency repair services for the government-owned water wells, which operate on an average of 2 months annually. The single source justification is based on the fact that Vandenberg SFB privatized its water and waste water utility systems to American Water (AW) under a 50-year contract (SP0600-15-C-8302). Since AW owns the wells downstream from the point of demarcation and the government retains ownership of upstream infrastructure including the well casing, pump, motor, column, and well head completion, the government determined that a separate contract with the incumbent contractor is in the government's best interest. The contracting officer made the determination on January 9, 2026, that single source procurement is reasonably available. The 30th Contracting Squadron and 30th Civil Engineer Squadron plan to conduct ongoing market research to source potential future contractors and preclude future single source awards.
