JA FAR Part 8 - Labor Support Redacted_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification Review Document for a FAR Part 8 Limited Sources procurement by the Army Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal. Letterkenny Army Depot (LEAD) seeks approval to issue a modification to existing GSA contract GS-10-F-0315T order W911N220F0494 for non-personal labor support services. The modification extends the current period of performance by three months with an additional three one-month option periods, running from February 1, 2026 through July 31, 2026, with an estimated total value that is redacted in the document.

The services encompass maintenance, manufacturing, recapitalization, and repair support for various weapon systems at LEAD, including the Patriot Launcher, Terminal High Altitude Air Defense (THAAD), High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), and other military equipment. The modification includes firm-fixed price CLINs for a Contract Manager (6001) and Business Analyst (6002), plus labor hours CLINs (6003), surge support (6004), and other direct costs (6005), each with three one-month sub-options. A separate CLIN (6006) covers Service Contracting Reporting. The incumbent contractor is Bowhead Logistics Management (formerly Bowhead Integrated Support Services), located in Springfield, Virginia. The justification cites urgent and compelling need under 41 U.S.C. §4106(c)(1) due to ongoing Government Accountability Office protests of a follow-on competitive contract awarded to Akima Facilities Operations, which resulted in a stop work order issued December 9, 2025. Market research confirmed only Bowhead possesses the immediate capability to provide seamless continuation of these critical defense production support services while the protest resolution is pending, with an anticipated GAO ruling by March 18, 2026. The modification will be fully funded through Army Working Capital Funds.
