About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Test Center awarded a firm-fixed-price commercial contract to Desert Haven Enterprises, Inc. for landscape construction, grading, irrigation installation, and related site work at West Gate, Edwards Air Force Base, California, on a sole-source basis under RFO 12.102(b) and 41 U.S.C. 1901, with a contract value of $930,000.
The justification rests on three factors: single point of accountability to eliminate liability gaps between construction and maintenance contractors; zero-delay mobilization, as Desert Haven is already fully mobilized at Edwards AFB with established staging areas, vetted personnel, and active base access, whereas competing vendors would require a minimum 30-day administrative lead time for security vetting; and infrastructure familiarity, as Desert Haven actively maintains the existing base irrigation grid and possesses unique systemic knowledge that reduces disruption risk. No presolicitation notice was published due to extreme end-of-fiscal-year timeline constraints requiring obligation by 30 September 2026.
Period of performance is 180 calendar days after Notice to Proceed. Place of performance is Edwards Air Force Base, California. The scope encompasses approximately 228,000 square feet of grading, 190,000 square feet of decomposed granite, 38,000 square feet of decorative rock, and 108 plants. Price reasonableness was determined through technical evaluation and comparison to Desert Haven's South Gate Landscaping award in May 2026 for similar but substantially smaller-scope work. Upon completion, this work will be incorporated into Desert Haven's base-wide grounds maintenance contract.
