About this opportunity
NASA Kennedy Space Center has awarded a sole-source change order to Healtheon, Inc. under MACC II contract 80SSC018D0012 for excavation and site preparation work on the Infrastructure Pilot Excavator (IPEx) project, with a period of performance of 30 days.
The justification cites FAR 16.507-6(b)(1) based on urgent agency need. The work involves excavating a pit 45 feet wide by 90 feet long by 4 feet deep within relocatable building M7-1062, installing a landfill-grade 60 Mil HDPE Text Liner system, backfilling with W12 granite screenings at 2 percent or less moisture content, and covering the remaining top surface (60 feet by 110 feet) with at least 18 inches of W12 granite screenings at 2 percent or less moisture content. All work occurs inside the building with roll-up doors and dual exhaust fans.
Delays in completion would create unacceptable impacts to the Moon Base and Artemis Programs, with a programmatic completion requirement of September 30, 2026. Healtheon was previously selected through competitive RFP 80KSC025R7008 (issued April 24, 2025; award June 26, 2025) and is already mobilized and performing similar wetlands mitigation activities at the site. Transitioning to another contractor would delay the project by two to three months. Labor rates are established under General Wage Determination FL20250001 (March 21, 2025). Fair and reasonable pricing will be determined through technical evaluation, comparison to historical hours, and comparison to an Independent Government Cost Estimate prior to award. The contracting officer certified the justification on September 1, 2026.
