Quick Summary
The U.S. Army 409th Contracting Support Brigade (CSB) has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a sole-source contract extension for Facilities Maintenance and Repair, Base Maintenance Services at US Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz (USAG-RP), Germany. This 7-month extension, valued at $16.4M, is awarded to the incumbent contractor, Elektro-Krück-GmbH, to ensure continuity of critical services while a bid protest is resolved.
Purpose of Extension
This bridge contract extension is necessary to prevent a gap in essential facility maintenance and engineering services for USAG-RP installations, including Germersheim Army Depot (GAD), AAFES Gruenstadt Depot, and Coleman Worksite. A new contract award is currently under protest with the Court of Federal Claims (COFC), halting the transition to a new awardee. The extension ensures life, health, and safety within US Army facilities after April 1, 2026.
Scope of Work
Services include operations, maintenance, and repair of real property, installed building equipment (IBE), and equipment-in-place (EIP). This encompasses preventive maintenance, repair demand maintenance, minor construction, and maintenance of roads, utilities, grounds, environmental protection, pest control, snow/ice removal, and a self-help program. The contract covers USAG-RP installations in Germany.
Contract Details
- Type: Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract extension (sole-source)
- Period of Performance: April 1, 2026, to October 31, 2026 (7 months)
- Estimated Value: $16.4M
- Contract Structure: Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) for approximately 93% of the workload and Cost Reimbursable for the remaining 7%.
- Incumbent Contractor: Elektro-Krück-GmbH
Eligibility / Set-Aside
This is a sole-source justification for an extension to the incumbent contractor, Elektro-Krück-GmbH. It is not a solicitation for new proposals or bids. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.103-1 as the authority for other than full and open competition.
Additional Notes
Extensive market research concluded that the incumbent is the only viable source to prevent a break in critical services, as a 90-day phase-in period would be required for a new contractor, which is not feasible within the current timeline.
