Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force (AFLCMC PZIO) has awarded a sole-source Firm-Fixed Price Bridge Contract to C. Martin Company, Inc. for Civil Engineer Facility and Equipment Support Services at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH. This award ensures continuity of critical services for intelligence and research and development activities, necessitated by a GAO protest and subsequent CICA Stay on a previous acquisition. The notice was published on March 9, 2026.
Scope of Work
The contract covers essential facility and equipment maintenance and repair for real property and lab equipment. These services are vital to support ongoing intelligence and research and development operations at the base.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Firm-Fixed Price Bridge Contract (Sole Source)
- Awarded To: C. Martin Company, Inc.
- Duration: One (1) month base period, commencing March 3, 2026, with an option for an additional one-month extension.
- Set-Aside: The original requirement was a 100% Small Business set-aside; however, this bridge contract is a deviation awarded on a sole-source basis.
- Funding: Utilizes Research and Development (3600, 3620) and Operation and Maintenance (3400) appropriations.
Justification & Context
This sole-source award was deemed necessary to prevent an unacceptable break in service. A GAO protest filed on February 24, 2026, resulted in a CICA Stay, halting the previous acquisition process. C. Martin Company, Inc. was identified as the only contractor capable of immediate performance due to their existing presence and readiness. While market research was conducted in February 2025 for the original competitive solicitation (FA8601-26-D-0002), time constraints prevented further market research for this emergent bridge contract. The agency plans to post a notice of intent to award sole source on SAM.gov and remains committed to using market research and competition for future acquisitions.
