The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command intends to extend and increase the ceiling of an existing Pavements IDIQ contract with Southern Management Inc. on a sole-source basis, raising the cumulative ceiling from $27.9 million to $30.2 million through a $2.3 million modification.

The 4th Contracting Squadron at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base justifies the sole-source extension under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), asserting that only one responsible source exists to satisfy requirements. Southern Management has continuously performed paving services on the installation since 2006 and possesses specialized, non-replicable technical expertise regarding site-specific geological conditions and an Air Force Civil Engineering Center-approved subgrade stabilization methodology combining chemical stabilization and adjusted asphalt thickness. The extension is deemed necessary to execute four mission-critical projects before the follow-on competitive IDIQ becomes available: KC-46 Mooring Points ($450,000), Munitions Storage Area Parking Lot Phase 1 ($350,000), Repair Water Distribution Line ($450,000), and Repair MSA Roads ($1.0 million). The modification extends the contract period of performance 180 days from August 24, 2026 to February 20, 2027. Place of performance is Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina. The contracting officer (Ryan Rhea, GS-13) certified the justification on August 5, 2026. The Government plans to overcome future barriers to competition by incorporating historical geological data and stabilization metrics into the follow-on Statement of Work and conducting a fully competitive SAM.gov solicitation with a sources sought notice and pre-proposal site visit.
