This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) document from the Department of the Air Force dated May 2026.

The document approves a sole-source bilateral modification (P00002) to an existing contract with Guardian Construction, Inc. for out-of-scope civil, structural, and electrical infrastructure work supporting the Aircraft Fire Training Facility Repairs under Contract FA664825C0007 at Homestead Air Reserve Base (HARB), Florida. The original contract award was valued at $4,987,007.00, with the modification increasing the total cumulative contract value (redacted). The contracting activity is the 482d Contracting Squadron (482 CONF/PK). The modification is being executed on an individual basis and requires mandatory legal sufficiency review by the servicing Staff Judge Advocate prior to execution by the Contracting Officer.

The required work includes: (1) demolition and disposal of an existing non-operational submersible pump and pond drainage system; (2) construction of a new on-land reinforced concrete foundation pad; (3) furnishing and installation of a new external pump system with signed/sealed Professional Engineer design drawings; and (4) trenching and installation of approximately 50 linear feet of new electrical conduit and wiring integrated into the Fire Training Facility and Control Tower. The contract type is Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP). The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority, claiming only one responsible source exists. The rationale emphasizes technical non-severability, unacceptable operational delays, unrecoverable duplication of costs, and airfield security concerns. The government will conduct future pre-solicitation engineering surveys for similar training simulators to minimize future sole-source requirements.
