Mini-Total Maintenance Contract W564KV-16-D-0008 (Germersheim, AAFES Gruenstadt, and Coleman) Elektro Krueck GmbH Ferdinand-Porsche-Str. 19 67269 Gruenstadt

5. BACKGROUND:

W564KV-22-D-0001, expires on 29 May 2023 and W564KV-16-D-0008 expires on 30 May 2023. The U.S. Army is currently working to complete the follow-on contract. The solicitation for the follow-on contract, W564KV-20-R-2000, was issued on 9 March 2020 using competitive procedures promoting full and open competition and all responsible sources were permitted to compete. Award was made on 28 February 2022, which was subsequently protested. The Army is currently conducting corrective actions. The Government anticipates to complete the source selection process and to make the new award decision around November 2023.

The follow-on contract will include a 90-day phase-in period and full performance will begin by February 2024. The sole source action is required to prevent a lapse in service from May 2023 until performance of the follow-on contract begins by February 2024. The Government contemplates a sole source action with the incumbent as the size and complexity of the requirement necessitates a 90-day phase-in period for the mobilization of equipment and materials, personnel assets, as well as the completion of background checks and other administrative procedures required for installation access purposes.

The W564KV-22-D-00001 incumbent contractor, Vectus Federal Services GmbH, is the only source capable of beginning performance immediately to meet the Government’s needs without a significant and unallowable break in service for the Total Maintenance Contract.

The W564KV-16-D-0008 incumbent contractor, Elektro Krueck GmbH, is the only source capable of beginning performance immediately to meet the Government’s needs without a significant and unallowable break in service for the Mini-Total Maintenance Contract.
