Johnson Space Center - JSC

Sole Source Justification Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) 80JSC021AA001

This is a Sole Source Justification prepared by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Johnson Space Center. (General Services Administration (GSA) Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) now uses “sole source justification” terminology).

This acquisition will be conducted under the Multiple-Award Schedule (MAS) Program (Title 41 U.S.C. 152(3)). This action is for an extension to the Construction Management and Professional Engineering Services II (CoMPES II) Blanket Purchase Order Agreement (BPA), 80JSC021AA001, for Construction Management, Quality Assurance/Monitoring & Field Support Services; Cost Estimating Services; Total Building Commissioning Services; Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Services; and Professional Engineering Services.

It is anticipated that award will be made to under General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) (GS-00F-247CA, Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), 541330ENG, Engineering Services).

The current BPA period of performance ends on August 31, 2026. This justification will allow for the current BPA to be extended by 2 years with a 1-year base and a 1-year option. The award of a follow-on BPA is anticipated to be completed during the proposed contract extension period.

The total estimated ordering value for the two years is

*Authority Cited and Rationale:

. Only one source is capable of providing the required products, services, or solutions at the required quality because they are unique or highly specialized

* Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul” (RFO) Section ) states that “When placing an order under the FSS, agencies must follow the ordering procedures established by GSA and found at subpart 538.71. GSA ordering procedures follow all statutory requirements, including the requirements of section 863 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009, and have been coordinated with the Office of Federal Procurement Policy for consistency with governmentwide acquisition policy.”

Rationale:

JSC intends to issue BPA calls for construction support and engineering services associated with facilities rehabilitation and improvements projects under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. These projects include major improvements to the Central Heating and Cooling Plant, water main replacements, substation reliability/performance improvements, air handler replacements, a new consolidated engineering facility and other project still in development. The projects anticipated under One Big Beautiful Bill Act are highly complex construction projects requiring specialized

Rev.:10/2025 knowledge and experience with JSC’s mechanical infrastructure, electrical infrastructure, and specialized regulatory requirements. Providing continuity to NASA with is necessary to successfully complete the new design and construction projects authorized by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Attempting to utilize any other contractor and transition support in the middle of design and construction would result in significant inefficiencies and increased risk of unacceptable delays. and the other contractor would also need to expend additional resources to ensure coordination in a transition of services during middle of design or construction. This is infeasible due to the complexity and number of projects expected with the Once Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Determination by the contracting officer that the order represents the best value consistent with RFO Part 8, Policies SEPTEMBER 2025 (DEVIATION PCD 25-10):

The contracting officer’s signature on this document indicates that the contracting officer has determined that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. The contractor must be required to submit a proposal to be evaluated and negotiated by the Government. Prior to execution of the contractual instrument, a proposal analysis will be performed. The proposal analysis will ensure that the final agreed-to pricing rates for the contract action is fair and reasonable.

A Request for Proposal will be issued to for BPA order pricing rates. The proposal will be evaluated and negotiated to obtain a fair and reasonable cost. Historical pricing rate data and pricing assistance from JSC will be used to obtain a fair and reasonable cost. These rates cannot exceed the rates in the Contractor’s GSA schedule contract.

Market Research:

A recent market analysis conducted by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) concluded that transitioning to a new contractor for the two-year extension period would be cost-prohibitive. Furthermore, research indicates that the time required to re-solicit the requirement would significantly disrupt services and impede the Government’s ability to meet its immediate operational needs while the follow-on contract is being competed.

In summary, this extension is essential to maintain momentum on mission critical infrastructure projects, mitigate transition risks, and ensure responsible stewardship of federal resources. The extension represents the best value to the Government and supports national priorities outlined in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and post-Hurricane Beryl recovery efforts.

A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers that led to the restricted consideration before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services is made:

The Government plans to seek maximum competition by competing the COMPES II acquisition as a full and open competition. This sole-source justification is necessary to allow sufficient time for the COMPES II Contractor to complete critical construction services for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act funded infrastructure improvements at JSC.
