Contract & Timeline
- Contract Type: Bridge Contract (Award Notice)
- Awardee: KOREA CONTAINER POOL CO.,LTD
- Value: $1,124,101.10
- Period of Performance: February 1, 2026, through July 31, 2026 (six months)
- Published Date: March 22, 2026
- Set-Aside: Other than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.302-1)
Evaluation & Justification
This award was made as a bridge contract under Other than Full and Open Competition, citing FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source). The justification highlights that a full and open competition could not be completed in time to prevent a service break. The incumbent contractor, Korea Container Pool, was identified as the only source capable of performing at full operational capacity on Day One due to established infrastructure, trained workforce, and immediate operational readiness, including existing base access and credentialing.
Additional Notes
The need for this bridge contract arose from delays in planning the follow-on solicitation, attributed to evolving requirements for a new Mail Terminal in Busan and a government shutdown. A lapse in these critical mail delivery services would significantly impact mission-critical support functions, morale, and operational readiness for USFK personnel.
