About this opportunity

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Honolulu District, issued this sole-source justification notice for the repair and retrofit of a 40-foot rappel tower at Lightning Academy, Schofield Barracks, Oahu, Hawaii, which has been non-operational for 22 months due to structural deficiencies. The contract award to Sharon Zambo-Fan & Associates, Inc. (SZF) was justified under unusual and compelling urgency provisions, citing the cancellation of critical Air Assault, Rappel Master, and Jungle Operations Training Courses that support the 25th Infantry Division and U.S. Forces in the Indo-Pacific, resulting in a 50 percent reduction in qualified personnel output and lost training opportunities for 140 soldiers. The repair scope encompasses extensive structural work including removing and recoating paint, repairing welding and exposed seams, replacing bolts, modifying floor grating, retrofitting brace gusset plates, and load testing anchors to achieve code compliance. The contract was awarded on January 9, 2026, with the contract value redacted in publicly available documentation, though the justification was submitted following SZF's approval for funding on December 3, 2025, coinciding with the company's graduation from the 8(a) program and delays caused by the October-November 2025 government shutdown. This sole-source award was approved as legally sufficient by District Counsel Jonathan A. Swanson and reviewed by Contracting Officer Tristin N. Suetsugu.
