This document is a Memorandum to the File for a sole-source acquisition of Roman Catholic Priest services for the Naval Air Station (NAS) Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth, TX. The contract will provide faith-specific religious ministry to authorized Roman Catholic personnel, leadership, and oversight of the RC portion of the Command Religious Program. The period of performance is a 12-month base contract with four 12-month option periods, covering dates from 1 Oct 25 to 30 Sep 30.

The acquisition is being pursued as a sole-source procurement due to unique requirements that can only be fulfilled by an ordained Roman Catholic Priest. The specific priest must be in good standing with the Catholic Church, endorsed by the archdiocese, and approved by their religious order. The current contract (N6883620P0356) expires on 30 September 2025, and this is a reacquisition. The contractor will perform services at chaplain office spaces, chapel, and other locations as determined by the Command Chaplain, with the priest being the only source capable of performing this specific contract.
