Sole Source Justification and Approval - Temporary Modular Office Facility (Laughlin AFB)   3

Background
This justification is for Contract Number W569QE-26-P-A005, concerning the Temporary Modular Office Facility at Laughlin AFB. The facility operates within a controlled restricted area that includes buried secure cables, utilities, and network pathways. The agency's mission is to maintain secure command-and-control capabilities without exposing classified systems. The incumbent contractor is the only responsible source capable of providing continued support without dismantling or exposing classified infrastructure.

Work Details
The contractor will provide ongoing support for the existing modular trailer facility, which is critical for maintaining classified communications architecture. The facility's utilities are integrated into Laughlin AFB’s base systems and cannot be disconnected or reconstructed without risking exposure of secure pathways and disrupting mission-critical operations. Market research indicates no other vendors have the required clearances or capabilities to work in this classified environment without service interruption.

Alternatives such as competitive acquisition, in-house government resources, suspension of contract support, relocation to another facility, or extension of the current contract have been evaluated but deemed unviable due to national security risks and operational degradation.

Period of Performance
The current contract expires on May 31, 2026, and the requirement is for continued uninterrupted use of the existing facility under a new period of performance.

Place of Performance
Laughlin Air Force Base.

Bidder Requirements
Bidders must possess the necessary security clearances to work within an active classified environment. No known vendors maintain cleared personnel capable of performing the required tasks without shutting down SIPR/NIPR services.
