Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Rock Island District, has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) to increase the capacity of an existing Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC), W912EK22D0004, for disaster debris management services in the Pacific Ocean Division (POD) Region. This critical action supports urgent response and recovery efforts following Super Typhoon Sinlaku, which severely impacted the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
Scope of Work
The requirement encompasses comprehensive disaster debris management and recovery services. This includes the separation, containment, removal, and disposal of household hazardous materials and damaged transformers, right-of-way debris removal, site management, environmental compliance, and logistical support. Services must be completed within a 90-day period from the Presidential major disaster declaration date of April 23, 2026. The POD region covers Alaska, Hawaii, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and other U.S. Outlying Areas.
Contract Details
This J&A modifies the existing SATOC No. W912EK22D0004, originally awarded to ECC Constructors LLC on November 10, 2021. The justification for other than full and open competition is made under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(2), citing "Unusual and Compelling Urgency" to expedite disaster response. The existing SATOC provides pre-negotiated rates and rapid mobilization capabilities, making a new competitive procurement impracticable given the 90-day performance requirement. Funding will be provided through the Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) to support FEMA mission assignments.
Set-Aside & Eligibility
While this specific capacity increase is non-competitive due to urgency, the original SATOC was competitively awarded. The prime contractor, ECC Constructors LLC, is required to maximize subcontracting competition in accordance with its small business subcontracting plan.
Key Dates
- Disaster Declaration: April 23, 2026 (initiating 90-day performance window)
- J&A Published: June 5, 2026
Additional Notes
USACE is planning for the next Advanced Contract Initiative – Regional Contracts for Debris Management Services (ACI-RCDMS) contract suite, anticipated for award in November 2026, which will be fully and openly competed.
