Contract & Timeline

Justification Details
The sole-source award is justified under "Unusual and Compelling Urgency" (FAR 6.302-2). A major water leak at Fort Dupont necessitates immediate repair to prevent serious injury, damage, and financial impact.

Kaiva Services, LLC was selected due to their familiarity with the area and prior experience with similar repairs.
