Justification and Approval for Use of Other Than Full and Open Competition

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a contract modification to extend an existing indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with the Department of the Navy.

The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Northwest seeks to extend the period of performance (POP) for the Multi-Discipline Architect-Engineer (A-E) IDIQ contract N44255-20-D-0002, originally awarded to Rogers, Lovelock & Fritz, Inc. on September 30, 2020. The modification extends the POP by 12 months and increases the contract ceiling from $100,000,000 to $127,000,000. The bridge extension (P00014) runs from March 29, 2026 to September 29, 2026, funded across MCON, MCON Reimbursable, and O&M,N appropriation types. The original contract provided a 12-month base period followed by four 12-month option periods, extended to September 29, 2026 through two prior modifications. The existing contract had $22,500,000 in available capacity remaining, which is insufficient to support the portfolio of mission-essential projects planned during the extension period. The requested ceiling increase of $27,000,000 (rounded to nearest million from a calculated shortfall of $27,060,025) is necessary to prevent service lapse while the competitive follow-on contract N44255-25-R-1505 undergoes pre-solicitation review and evaluation. The statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) for Unusual and Compelling Urgency. No separate solicitation was issued due to the time-sensitive nature of requirements and the anticipated delays from conducting a new competitive procurement, which could result in unacceptable disruption to mission-critical A-E services.
