FSS SSJ Above SAT- ISO 50001_FINALRedacted.pdf

This is a Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Sole Source Justification (SSJ) for an award above the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).

The document justifies a sole source follow-on purchase order award to Global Strategic Energy, LLC for support of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 50001 Energy Management System (EnMS) program under Air Force contract FA8571-21-P-0087. The contracting activity is AFSC/PZIMA, with contracting officer Taylor Walker. The justification is made under GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(ii), citing that only one source is capable of providing the products, services, or solution at the required quality level because the products, services, or solutions are unique or highly specialized. Global Strategic Energy, LLC is a small business contractor performing work through GSA Schedule contract GS-21F-155AA, with a Cage Code of 54LA5 and SAM.gov expiration date of 30 October 2026.

The contractor will provide Maintenance Support Group (MXSG) personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and services to provide Strategic Energy Manager (SEM) expertise to support sustainment of ISO 50001 EnMS certification at Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (WR-ALC), Robins Air Force Base (AFB), Georgia. The period of performance spans five years: Basic Year from 27 October 2026 through 26 October 2027, followed by four option years through 26 October 2031. The justification emphasizes that Global Strategic Energy, LLC has been the primary contractor since the program's inception nearly five years ago, developing the ISO 50001 framework and documentation while maintaining WR-ALC's certification. The rationale argues that transitioning to a new contractor would create substantial operational risk, unnecessary costs due to knowledge transfer requirements, and potential delays or regression in meeting energy management objectives. The sole source award through existing GSA Schedule contract aligns with Air Force/Air Combat Command strategic imperatives to leverage existing contracting solutions and deliver best value at the lowest overall cost.
