Redacted_Limited Competition Justification_B156 FINAL_SIGNED1_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification Review Document for an Other Than Full and Open Competition (OFTOC) procurement by the National Guard Bureau for repair and mechanical upgrades to Building 156 at Peace Air National Guard Base in Newington, New Hampshire. The contract action is a follow-on firm fixed-price contract valued at an undisclosed amount (estimated price redacted) to be awarded to Oak Point Associates under contracting activity 157 ARW/CES.

The requirement involves a comprehensive architecture-engineering project to address extensive mechanical deficiencies in Building 156, beginning with a full retro-commissioning of the entire mechanical system. Work includes testing system inputs and outputs, calibrating sensors for accuracy, updating operational sequences to comply with current building codes, and delivering a retro-commissioning report with optimization recommendations. The design phase will focus on critical upgrades including modernization of chilled water loop pumps with variable speed models, replacement of computer room problematic humidification equipment with a superior mist-free ultrasonic system, installation of a backup cooling system for the critical computer room, rodent exclusion measures for the pad-mounted HVAC unit, and building energy management control system modifications. The full project must comply with Department of Defense Anti-Terrorism Force Protection standards and specific fire alarm and mass notification system integration codes. Oak Point Associates was previously awarded the design contract (W912T19F5304) for A1 services in 2018 and has completed approximately 35% of the design work, making them the only source qualified to continue without duplicating efforts valued at $27,000 and extending the overall schedule. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 2304(a)(1) or 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as authority for the sole source award. The contracting officer is Matthew Lapointe, and the document was approved March 26, 2026.
