SSJ FSH Fire Suppression Bridge Amendment_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for Fire Suppression Systems Maintenance Services at Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) Fort Sam Houston. The 502d Contracting Squadron requires a bridge action to ensure continuous fire suppression system maintenance while transitioning between contracts. The contract covers inspection, testing, recharging, and maintenance of fire suppression systems at multiple facilities including Fort Sam Houston, Camp Bullis, and San Antonio Military Medical Center.

The procurement involves extending the current contract period from 31 March 2025 to 30 September 2025 using FAR 52.217-8. Extensive market research was conducted, including a Dynamic Small Business Search, Sources Sought posting, and direct outreach to 8(a) contractors. Despite identifying potential contractors like NALU FEDERAL LLC and SECURITY OPERATIONS GROUP, LLC, negotiations failed due to pricing concerns and subcontracting limitations. A Notice of Intent was posted with zero responses, leading the contracting officer to determine that a single source is reasonably available. Future acquisitions will include additional market research to streamline the process and ensure cost-effectiveness.
