About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command issued Justification and Approval (J&A No. 2608) on April 6, 2026, authorizing a sole-source contract award to RA International for design-build services to construct a hardstand lodging facility with bathroom, shower, and laundry facilities at Contingency Site Location Mogadishu in Somalia. The sole-source procurement was justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) based on unusual and compelling urgency stemming from catastrophic flooding in May 2025 that destroyed existing troop lodging facilities and degraded life support capacity at the site, with the government's extensive market research from October 2025 through March 2026 confirming RA International as the only available contractor capable of immediate mobilization. RA International, already operationally present in Mogadishu with current SAM registration, JCCS eligibility, and mandatory AFRICOM Instruction 3203.15 force protection clearances for its workforce, was selected to avoid an additional 4-to-6 months of delay and significant ongoing costs associated with temporary off-premises lodging arrangements. The contract specifies a completion date of 335 days from issuance of the Notice to Proceed, with funding through FY 26 O&MN appropriations under 10 USC 2805 authority for Unspecified Minor Construction, and a fair and reasonable pricing determination to be conducted upon receipt of the contractor's proposal. Although a SAM.gov synopsis published on March 5, 2026, generated 10 responses, all were determined ineligible due to their inability to meet the compressed timeframe requirements.
