About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command awarded a sole-source contract to Kapule, LLC for immediate mitigation and cleanup of a landslide at Commander Fleet Activities Sasebo (CFAS), Japan, under contract N4008426C6502 on September 18, 2026.
The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) for unusual and compelling urgency. A severe rainfall event on July 6, 2026, caused a major landslide with a large boulder dislodging and impacting critical infrastructure. Unstable slope conditions and the boulder's precarious positioning presented an ongoing physical hazard requiring urgent removal and installation of an engineered rockfall protective barrier. The Public Works Department determined that organic military engineering assets lacked the necessary equipment and material handling capabilities for this work.
The sole-source award to Kapule, LLC was justified based on the contractor's established presence at the installation, current execution of multiple active projects, immediate physical proximity to the incident site, and ability to commence operations without coordination delays required for other contractors. The contractor shall provide labor, material, transportation, and equipment for mitigation and cleanup efforts. The contract was issued via Request for Proposal on August 27, 2026, enabling immediate commencement of recovery operations. Funding is provided through O&M Navy appropriations. The Contracting Officer determined the finalized contract price to be fair and reasonable under FAR Part 15.404-1. Place of performance is Commander Fleet Activities Sasebo, Japan. PSC category is Y1PZ (Construction Of Other Non-Building Facilities).
