Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy / NAVFACSYSCOM PACIFIC has published a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity for the Red Hill Phase 2 Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Treatment project in JBPHH, HI. This document details the Navy's intent to award a sole-source modification to V2X (Vectrus) for extending the Period of Performance (POP) for GAC tanks/equipment installation and services.
Purpose of Justification
This Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity explains why a competitive procurement is not being utilized for this specific contract modification. It outlines the rationale for extending services with the incumbent contractor, V2X, under an existing contract (N62742-16-D-3552, task order N6274223F4034).
Scope of Work
The modification aims to extend services related to the installation and operation of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) tanks and associated equipment for the Red Hill Shaft GAC Phase II project. This includes the lease of GAC equipment and continued operational support.
Sole Source Justification
The decision to proceed with a sole-source award to V2X is based on several factors:
- Incumbency & Unique Capabilities: V2X is the current contractor, possessing existing equipment and operational knowledge critical to the project.
- Economy & Efficiency: Continuing with V2X is deemed to be in the government's best interest due to significant cost savings (estimated at approximately $5 million) by avoiding the procurement and transportation of new GAC tanks.
- Operational Continuity: This approach prevents project delays that would arise from transitioning to a new contractor or acquiring new equipment.
Contract Details
- Original Contract: N62742-16-D-3552
- Task Order: N6274223F4034
- Proposed Extensions: The document details two proposed POP extensions, P00007 and P00008, with specific performance periods and estimated costs.
- Product Service Code: W046 (Lease Or Rental Of Equipment: Water Purification And Sewage Treatment Equipment)
- Set-Aside: None specified for this sole-source action.
Future Plans
It is noted that a permanent solution for GAC treatment at Red Hill Adit 3 is being competitively procured separately, indicating future opportunities for other bidders in related phases of the Red Hill project.
