Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This is a Justification and Approval document for a non-competitive contract action by the Department of the Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command, at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. The document approves a three-month bridge action to extend an existing Base Supply and Munitions Services contract to prevent service lapses while a follow-on contract is being developed. The existing contract, awarded April 30, 2020, for five years with a one-year basic period and four one-year options, expires February 16, 2026. The bridge action extends services through May 2026 under the authority of 10 USC 3204(a)(2), Unusual and Compelling Urgency. The contract is firm-fixed price and was previously awarded competitively via commercial solicitation. The estimated additional value for the three-month extension is not disclosed in the visible portions of the document.

The contractor provides personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and Base Supply and Munitions Services support for Tinker Air Force Base and affiliated tenant units, detachments, and satellites, excluding Government-furnished property and services specified in the Performance Work Statement. The J&A justifies the non-competitive award based on significant delays in developing the follow-on contract caused by key personnel vacancies at the contracting office and the 2025 government shutdown, creating an unacceptable risk of service disruption critical to DoD operations worldwide. The contracting officer will ensure fair and reasonable pricing through price analysis and potential technical evaluation by the Defense Contract Management Agency or Defense Contract Audit Agency. The acquisition was set aside for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses, with eight proposals received but only one contractor capable of meeting the immediate service requirements.
