Quick Summary
The U.S. Army 409th Contracting Support Brigade (CSB) has completed a sole-source contract extension for Facilities Maintenance and Repair, Base Maintenance Services at U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz (USAG-RP), Germany. This bridge contract, valued at up to $51.9 million for a 7-month period, ensures continuity of essential services due to a bid protest filed with the Court of Federal Claims (COFC) regarding a follow-on contract award. The extension is with the incumbent contractor, Vectrus Federal Services GmbH.
Scope of Work
This extension covers comprehensive facility maintenance and engineering services for USAG-RP. Key services include:
- Operations, maintenance, and repair of real property, installed building equipment (IBE), and equipment-in-place (EIP).
- Preventive and demand maintenance, minor construction, and repair of Government-owned facilities and equipment.
- Maintenance and repair of roads, railroads, utility services, refuse recycling, grounds maintenance, environmental protection, pest control, surfaced areas, and snow/ice removal.
- Expanded self-help programs and between occupancy maintenance (BOM) of real property assets. These services are critical for maintaining quality of life, health, and safety within US Army facilities.

Evaluation
This action is a justification for a sole-source extension and is not a solicitation for proposals. The extension is being negotiated directly with the incumbent contractor, Vectrus Federal Services GmbH, to prevent a lapse in critical services.
Additional Notes
The extension is necessitated by a bid protest filed with the COFC, which halted the transition to a new awardee. This bridge contract allows the Government sufficient time to resolve protest proceedings and avoids an unacceptable delay in fulfilling essential agency requirements, particularly those related to life, health, and safety. A typical 90-day phase-in period for a new contractor is not required for the incumbent, further supporting the sole-source decision.
