JA FAR Part 6 TMC Bridge__Redacted Final.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for other than full and open competition for a Total Maintenance Contract (TMC) at U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz in Germany, valued at $66M. The document justifies awarding a 16-month sole-source contract to Vectrus Federal Services GmbH to provide facility maintenance, management, repair services, and minor construction from December 2024 through November 2024.

The J&A explains that this sole-source award is necessary due to an ongoing GAO protest (B-420616) of a previous award to PAE Applied Technologies LLC, which requires corrective action. The contract includes a 10-month base period and a 6-month option period under FAR 52.217-8. Services include refuse recycling, grounds maintenance, environmental protection, pest control, surface areas maintenance, snow/ice removal, building equipment maintenance, and other facility engineering services. The document details a history of protests and corrective actions since March 2022, including an AR 15-6 investigation that found no bias but identified procedural issues. Market research conducted in July 2024 confirmed that only the incumbent Vectrus could provide uninterrupted services while the follow-on competitive procurement is completed. The procurement history shows this requirement has been contracted since 1975, with the most recent contracts being W564KV12D0010 (2012-2021, $345M) and W564KV22D0001 (2021-2024).
