About this file
This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for use of other than full and open competition (JA-26-0006) issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC), Port Hueneme, California. The document seeks approval to extend Contract N39430-21-D-2302 with Tank Industry Consultants, Inc. for Water Tank Facilities Inspection (WTI) and Assessment services by six months, from February 10, 2026 to August 10, 2026. The contract is a Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) single award small business set-aside that was originally awarded on February 10, 2021. The services provide water tank inspection, structural condition assessment, and engineering and design support for Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization (SRM) projects at Department of Defense water tank facilities throughout CONUS, with specific projects including inspections at Pax River, Indian Head, Southeast Region, and Mid-Atlantic Region locations.
The extension is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) for Unusual and Compelling Urgency, citing an anticipated six-month gap between the current contract's expiration and the award of a follow-on contract in August 2026, combined with NAVFAC EXWC's lack of in-house resources and specialized expertise to perform the required work. The J&A notes that timely completion is critical to avoid severe impact to mission-critical functions and fleet warfighter readiness. The current capacity is deemed sufficient to support FY26 execution requirements. A competitive follow-on contract is in process with three firms selected for interviews, and the J&A will be posted on SAM.gov within fourteen days after award of the contract modification in accordance with FAR 6.305.

7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost.
