TAB 1 JA MRO Southwest Zone 1 Bridge 8 Redacted_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) document for a bridge contract to support the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) Program for the Southwest Region Zone 1.

The contract is a 310-day bridge procurement with a maximum dollar value of $75,000,000 covering facilities maintenance, repair, and operations materials and supplies for war-fighters stationed in the Southwest Region Zone 1. Supplies include HVAC components, plumbing supplies, electrical products, tools, chemical and lubricating products, construction supplies, perimeter security items, and communication devices. The contracting activity is DLA Troop Support, Construction and Equipment Supply Chain. The proposed eighth bridge contract is awarded to SupplyCore Inc. with an effective period of June 3, 2026 through April 8, 2027. This timeframe is necessary to support the region during the competitive follow-on contract award process and implementation period, with sixty (60) days being the standard implementation period for the next generation MRO contracts. The justification notes that if a competitively awarded contract is issued ahead of the projected timeframe and the contract guaranteed minimum of $50,000,000 is satisfied, orders will no longer be placed under the bridge contract. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable based on price analysis including comparison to commercial pricing, GSA pricing, and other Government contracts. The justification was signed by Contracting Officer Lauren White on April 23, 2026, and approved by William J. Kenny, Executive Director of DLA Troop Support Contracting and Acquisition Management, on May 5, 2026.
