Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA) has issued a Justification & Approval (J&A) for a sole source bridge contract to SDS Joint Venture for Mechanical Maintenance Services at the Robert V. Denney Federal Building and Courthouse in Lincoln, Nebraska. This action ensures continuity of essential services between the expiration of the current contract and the award of a new, comprehensive facilities maintenance contract.
Purpose & Justification
This J&A authorizes a non-competitive award to SDS Joint Venture, citing FAR 6.103-2 (Unusual and compelling urgency) and 41 U.S.C. 3304. The current contract (47PG0118D0021) expires on March 31, 2026. A bridge contract is necessary to prevent a lapse in critical mechanical maintenance services until a new Complete Facilities Maintenance contract, effective October 1, 2026, can be awarded. Failure to maintain these services would jeopardize tenant safety and building integrity.
Scope of Services
The bridge contract requires the continued provision of Operations and Mechanical Maintenance Services. These services are crucial for maintaining the building at a safety level necessary for tenant occupancy and preventing potential damage. The Product Service Code is J041 (Maintenance, Repair And Rebuilding Of Equipment: Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, And Air Circulating Equipment).
Contract Details
- Contract Type: Firm fixed-price, commercial services, performance-based.
- Period of Performance: April 1, 2026, to September 30, 2026 (6 months).
- Estimated Cost: $380,556.12.
- Awarded Contractor: SDS Joint Venture.
- Set-Aside: This bridge contract is a sole source award due to the contractor's unique qualifications and specialized experience.
