Quick Summary

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Kansas City has issued a Special Notice indicating its intent to award a sole source follow-on Architect-Engineer (A-E) contract for Other Architect And Engineering Services (C219). This action is justified under FAR 6.103-1(c)(2)(ii) due to urgency and the need to avoid unacceptable delays in fulfilling agency requirements. This is not a solicitation for proposals.

Purpose

USACE Kansas City intends to sole source this requirement to the current A-E contractor. The justification stems from the expiration of the previous MATOC, necessary program changes, and a very tight timeline. The current contractor was initially selected following Brooks Act procedures as the most highly qualified. Facilitating competition at this stage would create unacceptable delays, making a sole source award a logical follow-on to ensure continuity and timely project execution.
