Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, specifically the 772d Enterprise Sourcing Squadron (772 ESS), has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) to increase the contract ceiling for the existing Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Environmental Construction and Optimization Services (BECOS) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract FA8903-20-D-0004. This action is for continued services in the Midwest region and is not a new solicitation.
Purpose & Scope
The J&A authorizes an increase of $15,769,013 to the contract ceiling, raising the total from $60 million to $75,769,013. This increase is critical to fund mission-critical CERCLA remediation activities at ten (10) BRAC installations. The need for additional funds stems from unforeseen regulatory and economic cost drivers, including changes in state PFAS guidance (lowering Maximum Contamination Level), EPA-mandated changes to analytical methods (Method 537 to Method 1633), and post-COVID-19 inflation. The funds will support new, unfunded requirements and increased costs for legacy work, ensuring uninterrupted completion of ongoing non-severable task orders for environmental construction, optimization, response complete (RC), and site closeout (SC).

Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition
The original BECOS Midwest contract was awarded competitively as a 100% Small Business Set Aside. This J&A supports the continued use of the incumbent, LATA-CTI Environmental Services, LLC (LCES), as the only source capable of providing services without causing unacceptable delays. A Sources Sought notice posted on October 6, 2025, received 15 capability statements, but technical evaluators concluded that no other firm could assume the complex, in-progress tasks without significant disruption. A new contractor would require 12-18 months for data re-validation, risking statutory default on Federal Facility Agreements and potential financial penalties. The incumbent's established relationships with local residents and regulatory agencies are crucial for ongoing remediation efforts.
