Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a three-month bridge contract, with a three-month option, for alongside aircraft refueling and fuel storage services at Naval Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville, FL. This action extends existing contract SPE600-15-C-5000 with United Paradyne Corporation (UPC), valued at an estimated $1,387,493.94.
Purpose & Scope
This J&A justifies a sole-source modification to ensure the uninterrupted provision of critical bulk storage, alongside aircraft refueling, and overall fuels management services at NAS Jacksonville. The extension is necessary to prevent mission failure, unacceptable delays, and substantial duplication of costs while a long-term follow-on contract is being finalized.
Contract Details
- Contract Number: SPE600-15-C-5000
- Incumbent Contractor: United Paradyne Corporation (UPC)
- Services: Bulk storage, alongside aircraft refueling, and fuels management
- Place of Performance: Naval Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville, FL
- Proposed Extension: Three months (June 1, 2026 – August 31, 2026) with a three-month option (through November 30, 2026)
- Estimated Value (Bridge): $1,387,493.94
- Justification: Awarded under FAR 6.103-1(b) "Only One Responsible Source" due to UPC's specialized expertise, existing infrastructure, and the high risk of mission impact and duplicated costs (estimated $338,700) if a new contractor were introduced for this short-term bridge.
Future Opportunity
A follow-on solicitation, SPE603-25-R-0508, for the long-term contract has already been issued and closed, with an award anticipated prior to the expiration of this bridge action.
Submission Impact
This document is a justification for a sole-source extension and does not require proposals or submissions from other vendors. Interested parties should have responded to the previously closed follow-on solicitation (SPE603-25-R-0508).
