About this opportunity

The Department of the Army, Joint Task Force-Southern Border (JTFSB), is seeking to procure continued support and sustainment of a temporary modular office facility located at Laughlin Air Force Base in Del Rio, Texas. This pre-solicitation notice indicates the Army's intent to award a sole-source contract under FAR 6.103-1(b) for expeditionary office space services supporting Task Force Guardian operations. The facility requirements include delivery, installation, maintenance, and removal of one temporary modular building with a minimum 4,000 square feet of workspace to accommodate approximately 65 personnel, complete with eight office spaces, a controlled-access room for classified equipment, a conference room, and integrated plumbing and communications infrastructure. Key contract requirements mandate contractor compliance with extensive federal requirements including background checks, security clearances, anti-terrorism and OPSEC training, information assurance certifications, and environmental and safety regulations. Performance will be evaluated against defined standards and acceptable quality levels as detailed in the Performance Requirements Summary. While this is not a request for competitive proposals, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement by the April 30, 2026 due date, though responses must clearly demonstrate the ability to perform services without dismantling or interrupting the existing classified infrastructure.

This opportunity is designated as a set-aside for Woman-Owned Small Businesses. The sole-source justification emphasizes that the incumbent contractor is the only responsible source capable of providing uninterrupted support without compromising the classified communications infrastructure permanently integrated into the facility, as any vendor transition would result in exposure of classified systems and a minimum twenty-day loss of secure command-and-control capability. The performance period consists of a 12-month base year beginning June 1, 2026, with four optional 12-month renewal periods extending through May 31, 2031, for a potential five-year contract term. The contractor must furnish office furnishings for 65 personnel, communications infrastructure including 50 electrical receptacles and 50 CAT5/6 ports, full HVAC systems, and 24/7 electrical power. The Government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed-price contract, though the specific award value or budget range is not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice.

Update #3 · Latest ·

Amendment 02: Uploaded correct PWS. Amendment 01: Changing date to 30 APR 26 in the description. The Department of the Army, Joint Task Force–Southern Border (JTF‑SB), intends to award a sole‑source contract for continued support and sustainment of the existing Relocatable Building (RLB) Tactical Operations Center (TOC) located at Laughlin Air Force Base, Del Rio, Texas as specified in the performance work statement (PWS).  This action is being pursued under FAR 6.103-1(b), which authorizes contracting without full and open competition when only one responsible source is capable of providing the required supplies or services and no other source can meet the agency’s needs. 

The RLB TOC is the battalion’s only secure mission‑command node and contains integrated classified communications infrastructure, including SIPR/NIPR hardline drops, a Small Network Node (SNN), crypto devices, classified radios, and buried secure network pathways. The facility’s utilities, including water, electrical power, and sewer, are permanently tied into the base infrastructure through engineered, buried conduits. These systems cannot be dismantled, relocated, or reconstructed without exposing classified pathways and interrupting secure communications.

Any vendor other than the incumbent would be unable to perform the required services without dismantling the existing facility, which would result in the exposure of classified systems, a minimum twenty‑day loss of secure command‑and‑control capability, and unacceptable operational impacts to JTF‑SB and the 315th Engineer Battalion. Based on market research, the incumbent contractor is the only responsible source capable of providing uninterrupted support without compromising classified infrastructure.

This notice is not a request for competitive proposals or quotes. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement that will be considered by the Government. Responses must clearly demonstrate the ability to perform the required services without dismantling, relocating, or interrupting the existing classified infrastructure.
