About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command has published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for a contract modification to renovate part of Building 5601 at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. The modification involves additional work for Merit Inc., the incumbent contractor, to install a new Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning system and demolish/remove existing chiller equipment and fencing, including concrete removal. This $320,188.32 modification increases the original task order value from $1,128,288.98 to $1,448,477.30, representing additional work necessitated by a government-directed change to convert storage space for United Service Organization (USO) occupancy. The Air Force is justifying the sole-source approach under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(C) based on economy and efficiency considerations, citing the contractor's current mobilization at the site, the need for seamless HVAC system integration, and the desire to avoid construction schedule disruptions and redundant mobilization costs. The modification supports the ongoing renovation of approximately half of the 10,676 square foot building and aligns with Executive Order requirements related to federal return-to-work policies. The original task order was awarded on October 18, 2024, under the existing Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) structure.
Notice text
The purpose of this announcement is to post the J&A for the modification of Task Order number FA448425F0045 under IDIQ contract number FA448420D0004 to incorporate additional work for the installation of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning system and the demolition/removal of the existing chiller and fence to include concrete. In accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(C), the modification will be executed on a sole-source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency. It constitutes a logical follow-on to the existing Task Order number FA448425F0045. This additional requirement, not anticipated under the original contract scope, results in an estimated price increase of $320,188.32, thereby adjusting the Task Order value from $1,128,288.98 to $1,448,477.30. NOTE: This posting IS NOT a request for proposals or quotes, but rather a synopsis of a modification to an existing Task Order. The synopsis is being posted as a matter of transparency and due diligence. The additional work to the existing Task Order is explained and justified in the attached J&A to this announcement.
Awarded contract FA448420D0004 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2024-10-18.
