1. Contracting Activity:

127 MSC

43200 Maple Street Bldg 105, Rm 16 Selfridge ANG Base MI 48045

2. Description of Action:

b. Type: Firm Fixed Price

c. Contractor: FutureNet Group Inc.

3. Description of Supplies/Services: This sole source firm fixed price order is to be written as a logical follow on to Task Order #W912JB-11-D-4006-0008.

The contractor shall also remove the existing damage interior gypsum board and abate accompanying mold. Wall board not to exceed 2500 sq ft feet in building 570 Control Tower. The Contractor is also to remove all existing interior insulation and replace with R-22 Stone Wall insulation as specified.

4. Identification of the exception to fair opportunity (see 16.505(b) (2) (i) (C)) and the supporting rationale, including a demonstration that the proposed contractor’s unique qualifications or the nature of the acquisition requires use of the exception cited. If the contracting officer uses the logical follow-on exception, the rationale shall describe why the relationship between the initial order and the follow-on logical (e.g., in terms of scope, period of performance, or value): A logical follow-on task order to the existing MATOC IDIQ contract is in the government’s interest and ensures economy efficiency, by tying together the existing project with the new scope of work. These new work elements need to be successfully completed, to facilitate the proper installation of the Exterior Insulation Finishing System (EFIS) which was contracted in the original order. The work required by the follow on task order is to be accomplished concurrently with the current task order. The new wok includes the construction of an entirely new substrate for the EFIS product to be constructed onto. A single contractor and labor force performing both projects, ensures proper coordination of work and a reduction in labor and equipment costs. In addition, the current general contractor is already onsite which reduces mobilization charges, as the same equipment will be utilized for both projects. Concurrent work under a follow-on task order also mitigates potential delay costs associated with the original task order. All Selfridge Vertical MATOC awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the
