Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS), is executing a Limited Sources Justification for the emergency procurement of Operations and Maintenance (O&M) and Vertical Transportation Equipment (VTE) Services for federal buildings in Hilo and Honolulu, Hawaii. This action is a bridge contract to ensure uninterrupted services due to an urgent need.
Scope of Work
This procurement covers comprehensive O&M and VTE services, including management, supervision, labor, materials, equipment, and supplies for the operation, maintenance, and repair of building systems. Specific locations include the PJKK Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse, Fort Armstrong Parking Lot, Hilo Federal Building and U.S. Post Office, and U.S. Customs Warehouse.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Sole Source Justification for a Bridge Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) Call Order (under BPA 47PG5226A0008).
- Awardee: Pundir Group, Inc.
- Duration: One 12-month option period (May 1, 2026 - April 30, 2027), with a potential 6-month extension.
- Estimated Value: $3,138,168.00.
- Set-Aside: Not applicable (Sole Source Justification).
- Published: April 28, 2026.
Rationale for Sole Source
The justification is based on an urgent and compelling need to avoid unacceptable delays and ensure continuous building operations. The previous contractor's unsatisfactory performance led to a mutual termination, and a full and open competition is not feasible due to the short notice. Pundir Group, Inc. was selected due to their familiarity with the buildings and existing contract.
Additional Notes
This bridge contract is intended to maintain essential O&M VTE services until a new contract can be competitively procured. This justification was prepared in accordance with GSAM 538.7104-3(b)(i) for orders exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).
