JA Regional 8(a) Custodial FINAL_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a first bridge modification to a sole source contract for Regional 8(a) Custodial Services for the Naval District Washington (NDW). The contract, awarded to NJS Joint Venture, LLC, seeks to extend the current contract period through a three-month base period and two option periods, covering custodial services from April 2025 through March 2026. The estimated value of the bridge contract includes both recurring and non-recurring work, with funding coming from FY25 and FY26 O&MN funds.

The bridge modification is necessary due to delays in finalizing the Performance Work Statement, Independent Government Cost Estimate, and Source Selection Plan, as well as complications from Defense Health Agency's transition of healthcare environmental cleaning services. The follow-on procurement is planned as a competitive small business set-aside under the 8(a) Business Development Program, with an anticipated award by January 2026 and a service start date of February 2026. The contract covers custodial services for critical Navy facilities including Navy Yard, Patuxent River, Indian Head, Cardrock, and Naval Observatory, with the current contractor having provided services since 2020.
