This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for Other Than Full and Open Competition from the Department of the Air Force, dated August 31, 2026.

The Air Force Test Center (AFTC), Infrastructure Branch (PZIOCD) at Eglin Air Force Base seeks approval for a sole-source modification to increase the Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract ceiling on an existing Portable Latrine Services contract with a Major Contracting Services, Inc. for Portable Latrine Services at Eglin AFB. The modification increase is driven by two primary factors: facility loss from a catastrophic fire that destroyed Building 843 (Gymnasium) and its permanent restroom and sanitation infrastructure, necessitating supplementary portlets to support area personnel; and an operational tempo increase from sustained Research and Development (R&D) testing missions across Eglin AFB requiring immediate surge capacity and expanded portable sanitation at active test locations. The contractor is already mobilized at Eglin AFB with necessary equipment and base access. The incumbent was competitively awarded the current IDIQ contract. Awarding the ceiling increase to a different vendor would result in substantial duplication of mobilization costs and unacceptable delays in fulfilling sanitation requirements for Eglin AFB's remote sites. The statutory authority for this non-competitive action is RFO 12.201-2, Other procedures, 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). Future acquisitions will include revised estimates and Performance Work Statements with surge Contract Line Item Numbers or higher built-in ceiling buffers to account for unpredictable operational fluctuations, ensuring full and open competition in subsequent solicitations.
