JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL

J&A No. ML-19-64

06 Sept2019

FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

l. Contracting Activity: The contracting activity is Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Mid-Atlantic, Resident Officer in Charge of Construction (ROI CC) Camp Lejeune, North Carolina

2. Description of the Action Being Approved: A ward of a 6-month extension to Contract N40085-l 5-C-0800, Lead Cleaning of Breach and Shooting Houses at Marine Corps Base (MCB) Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. The extension is necessary to have sufficient time to solicit and award the follow-on contract with sufficient time to allow for a 30-day phase-in period.

3. Description of Supplies/Services: The Contractor shall provide labor, management, supervision, tools, material, and equipment required to perform lead cleaning services at MCB Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
