Justification Review Document

This is a Justification Review Document for a sole-source procurement of architectural and engineering services. The 145th Airlift Wing - Base Contracting, under the requiring activity of 145th Airlift Wing - Civil Engineering, seeks to award a new firm-fixed-price sole-source contract for Type C services related to Construction of the Security Forces Building. The contract is MILCON-funded (Air) and represents a follow-on award to AECOM under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), which permits sole-source contracting when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements.

The justification establishes that AECOM is the uniquely qualified sole source because it previously designed and certified the project drawings and specifications through Type A and Type B services under task order W50S87-21-F-5013. Type A services encompassed design development, and Type B services included design narrative and construction document development. Awarding Type C construction administration services (including documentation, submittal reviews, progress meeting attendance, lab result review, as-built drawing preparation, and site inspections) to AECOM ensures continuity, quality, and constructability responsibility while mitigating significant performance and liability risks. The contracting officer (Scott R. Thomas) has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable based on comparison to the IGE and other contract pricing. The document is controlled by the National Guard Bureau and Local Office, dated October 28, 2026, with approval authority at the Chief of Contracting Office level (Brandon Elliott, November 09, 2026). Publication is required within 14 days of contract award through the Government Point of Entry.
