BASEOPS JA 59 Day Extension 14AUG26 Redacted.pdf

This is a FAR Part 6 Justification and Approval document for a cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) contract modification to extend Base Operations and Maintenance Support Services at Fort Carson, Colorado. The document justifies awarding a 59-day extension to the incumbent contractor, T&H Services LLC, under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) for unusual and compelling urgency. The extension runs from July 31, 2026 through September 28, 2026, with a total contract value of $7.2 million and extends the overall contract duration to 6 years and 7 months (79 months).

The services encompass comprehensive base operations and maintenance support including grounds maintenance, facility electrical and mechanical services, systems maintenance and repair, locksmith services, natural gas distribution, wastewater treatment, vehicle wash facilities, sanitary and water systems, warehousing and supply, cathodic protection, interior and exterior work, and miscellaneous support functions. The justification documents that a GAO protest (B-424583) and CICA stop-work order prevented the successor contract from performing transition activities during the protest resolution period, necessitating the extension to maintain continuous, uninterrupted base operations critical to mission readiness and safety. Market research confirmed that no alternative contractor could mobilize within the required short timeframe. The 918th Contracting Battalion (MICC-Fort Carson) is the contracting activity for the Directorate of Public Works at Fort Carson, Colorado, with FY 2026 Operations and Maintenance Army (OMA) funds supporting the extension. Prior contracts for this requirement, competitively procured as a HUBZone set-aside, are listed with contract amounts ranging from approximately $20 million to $278 million across various performance periods from 2005 to 2025.
