Summary

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a capacity increase to the Facilities Repair and Renewal (FRR) VI Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC). The U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville (CEHNC) is requesting an additional $498,000,000 in capacity to increase the total shared capacity from $450,000,000 to $948,000,000. The FRR VI MATOC, awarded April 12, 2022, to 21 contractors with a 24-month base ordering period and three 12-month optional periods, currently has only $169,484,620 in remaining capacity as of August 26, 2026. The additional capacity is exclusively dedicated to supporting the Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) Modular Power Enclosures Program (MPEP), a critical national defense initiative requiring facility-related design-build construction, site preparation, infrastructure support, and related construction work at multiple MDA-identified sites. The MPEP requirements must be awarded before March 31, 2027, with execution completed by February 28, 2028, per Office of the Secretary of War clarifying guidance received July 9, 2026.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) under the Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation (RFO) 6.103-1(c)(2)(ii) as authority for limiting competition to the existing 21 FRR VI MATOC holders, citing critical national security requirements, highly specialized technical qualifications (including UFC 3-301-02 Design Category V Structures engineering, security clearances, and hazardous work credentials), compressed schedules incompatible with full and open competition, and the established contractor pool's existing subcontracting relationships and capability to execute approximately 22 task orders within the required timeframe. The document details alternatives considered—including new standalone "C" contracts, sole-source 8(a) awards, and the follow-on FRR VII MATOC—all deemed unacceptable due to acquisition lead times exceeding the program schedule. The FRR VI MATOC includes small business and 8(a) reserves, with anticipated fair-opportunity procedures for all MPEP task orders.
