Justification FAR Part 6 - TMC 7-Mth Extension Final_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval document for a sole-source contract extension to provide facility maintenance, repair, and minor construction services for the U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz (USAG-RP) Directorate of Public Works in Kaiserslautern, Germany. The contract extension is valued at $51.9 million for a 7-month period from April 1, 2026 through October 31, 2026. The incumbent contractor, Vectrus Federal Services GmbH, is the sole source awardee under the justification authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits sole-source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements without unacceptable delay. The contracting officer is Christopher Stephenson, with the 409th Contracting Support Brigade (Theater Contracting Center) in Kaiserslautern as the contracting activity.

The contract covers comprehensive facility maintenance and operations including preventive and demand maintenance, snow and ice removal, fire alarm systems maintenance, heating/cooling systems, storm drainage maintenance, grounds maintenance, utility services, pest control, and building equipment maintenance across the USAG-RP Area of Responsibility. Approximately 76 percent of work will be Fixed-Price FFP tasks with the remaining 24 percent being Time and Material (T&M). The justification cites unacceptable delays in service if alternatives were pursued, noting a pending Court of Federal Claims protest decision expected by August 4, 2026, and the critical need for a 90-day phase-in period for the new contractor. The document indicates that competitive re-procurement occurred previously with adequate competition, but the compressed timeline and specialized knowledge requirements necessitate sole-source extension to the incumbent. Market research demonstrated industry capability to perform these services with sufficient time and resources, but no other contractor can provide seamless transition during the current protest resolution period.
