This is a Justification and Approval document for other than full and open competition regarding a contract modification for fuel delivery services at Rock Island Arsenal.

The U.S. Army Contracting Command-Rock Island Arsenal (ACC-RIA) seeks to modify the Base Operations Support Services Support (BOSS) contract W519TC-26-D-A025 with Tunista Operations Support Services, LLC to add fuel delivery services. The modification is justified under 41 U.S.C. 1901(e)(2) and RFO FAR 12.102(b) for commercial products and services using simplified procedures. The requirement stems from Headquarters Army Material Command Operation Order (OPORD) 26-132, which mandates transition of heating and fuel delivery services from Army Sustainment Command (ASC) to Installation Management Command (IMCOM) by September 30, 2026. The fuel delivery services will be added to the BOSS contract as an out-of-scope modification under task order number W519TC-26-F-A404, with services beginning September 30, 2026. The contract period runs through June 13, 2030, with one 10-month ordering period and three 12-month periods, plus five optional 12-month periods through June 13, 2035. The estimated total contract value including all options is redacted in the document.

The justification cites that Tunista is uniquely qualified to provide these services without substantial duplication of cost and unacceptable delays, as the company is currently executing fuel level inspections and refueling tasks under the existing BOSS contract. Awarding to any other contractor would result in irrecoverable duplicated costs estimated at a redacted amount, including redundant management, labor, equipment, environmental compliance, security, and government contract administration. Market research was conducted from August 3-7, 2026, with six contractors expressing interest; however, only Tunista provided a complete, compliant response. The Government will incorporate RFO FAR clause 52.244-5 mandating competition in subcontracting. Services are incrementally funded under DFARS 232.703-1(1) with a Limitation of Government's Obligation clause (252.232-7007). An acquisition plan is not required as the threshold is not met under FAR Overhaul (RFO) DFARS 207.103-70(a)(2).
