JOFOC Winder Historic Balcony Replacement 2026 08 27 redacted.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a sole source procurement by the General Service Administration's White House Service Center for historic balcony replacement services at the Winder Building.

The procurement involves replacement of the Winder Building's deteriorated historic balcony, which currently features pressure-treated wood decking that does not meet historical standards and is unsafe, with joists and decking members that are falling apart, warped, and missing. The contracting agency is awarding the work as a sole source contract to DJB Contracting, Inc. (UEI: KM1KVDZ8JUF9) based on their unique qualifications in historic building restoration. DJB Contracting possesses over 10 years of experience restoring historic buildings recognized by the U.S. Secretary of States, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and the National Register of Historic Places. The vendor has specific expertise consulting with Historic Preservation Architects and prior experience with the Winder Stucco Façade Replacement in 2011, as well as over 10 years consulting on historic restoration projects throughout the White House Complex. Market research determined that a limited number of vendors could perform specialized historical work, but only DJB Contracting possessed the capability and experience to meet this project's specific historic requirements. The statutory authority for this sole source award is 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as implemented by FAR Subpart 6.302-1. The procurement is being conducted outside of full and open competition, with the contracting officer certifying that the data supporting this acquisition method is accurate and complete.
