About this opportunity

The Defense Commissary Agency has awarded a sole-source bridge contract modification to Rentokil North America, Inc. for integrated pest management services across DeCA facilities in the United States for $44,098.18, extending performance through July 31, 2026.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) and FAR 6.103-2, unusual and compelling urgency. A delay in awarding the competitive follow-on contract created an urgent need to prevent a lapse in mission-critical services. Rentokil is the only source capable of providing uninterrupted service without operational risk to DeCA; a new vendor cannot complete required security checks, background investigations, and installation access requirements across multiple DoD locations within the short timeframe available, which would jeopardize food safety and public health standards at food-handling facilities.

The modification extends the period of performance for 30 days from July 1, 2026, to July 31, 2026. An optional extension through August 31, 2026 is available, with potential total value of $90,000 if exercised. Services are funded by Defense Working Capital Funds and priced under existing contract rates. The contracting office is DeCA Enterprise Acquisition Division (CCQE), Fort Lee, VA. DeCA states that the permanent follow-on contract will be awarded through full and open competition via the Defense Commercial Solutions Opening.

Description:
This action is a firm-fixed-price modification to extend the period of performance for integrated pest management services at Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) facilities across the United States for a 30-day period from July 1, 2026, to July 31, 2026. These services are critical for maintaining sanitary conditions at food-handling facilities.

Authority and Justification:
This contract action was awarded on a sole-source basis under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) as implemented by FAR 6.103-2, "Unusual and compelling urgency."

The justification for this non-competitive action is based on the following: A delay in the award of the competitive follow-on contract created an urgent need to prevent a lapse in mission-critical services. The incumbent contractor, Rentokil North America, Inc., is the only source capable of providing uninterrupted service without causing unacceptable delays and operational risks to DeCA. A new vendor could not complete the required security checks, background investigations, and installation access requirements across numerous DoD locations within the short time available, which would jeopardize food safety and public health standards.

Awarded contract HDEC0519D0013 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2026-06-30.
