JA_DDOC_Ceiling_Increase_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a contract modification with Strongside Builders LLC, issued by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). The modification seeks to increase the contract ceiling from $300M to $400M for an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) construction contract covering maintenance, installation, repair, renovation, and reconfiguration work at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington, DC. The contract encompasses a wide range of construction disciplines including electrical, mechanical, plumbing, architectural, and specialized security requirements for sensitive compartmented information facilities.

The proposed $100 million ceiling increase is justified by the acceleration of infrastructure requirements and the need to prevent mission capability degradation. The government determined that Strongside Builders LLC is the only source capable of meeting the agency's critical infrastructure needs, based on market research and capability statement reviews. The contract was originally awarded in August 2022 with a one-year base period and four one-year option periods. The government plans to competitively procure a follow-on contract in FY 2027, with active industry engagement to enhance competition and facilitate a successful procurement process.
