Product or Service Code (PSC): 9999 NAICS Code: 423610
Requirement Description
This is a notice of intent to award a sole-source contract to:
Europe Zone 2 under Contract SPE5B121D0003 Supply Core, Inc. (4V314)
303 N. Main St. STE 800
Rockford, IL 61101

The proposed contract ordering period extension is for providing maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) supplies to the European Command (EUCOM) or African Command (AFRICOM) Areas of Responsibility (AORs). MRO products include all commercial items associated with the maintenance, repair, and operation of a facility. This scope includes but is not limited to: Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) supplies; plumbing supplies (e.g. bath and shower fixtures, and ablution units); electrical products (e.g. generators, wire, connectors, sockets, outlets, lights, etc.); tools; chemical, lubricating, and rubber products; construction supplies (e.g. cement, lumber, plywood, bricks, blocks, steel, aluminum, and other metal products); conduits; prefabricated structures (e.g. re-locatable buildings, and prefabricated buildings complete with furnishings, appliances, etc.); appliances; utility vehicles; perimeter security items such as: barriers, barbed wire, concertina wire, and sand bags (also used for erosion prevention); communication devices (e.g. walkie-talkies and two-way radios used by the maintenance personnel); and various other commercial supplies required by the war-fighters to accomplish their mission. MRO support also includes related incidental services. Incidental services are standard commercial services performed in connection with supplying items under the scope of the contract (an example of an incidental service may be requiring installation of an HVAC system purchased under the contract).
The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source for each of the above identified contracts under the authority of 10 U.S.C 3204(a)(l) as implemented by Class Deviation 2026-00017 Revision 2- Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Overhaul, Part 6.103-1, only one
responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
Background: The Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) contracts are five-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts procuring commercial supplies and related incidental services to support the needs of the warfighter located in Europe Zone 1- North of the Alps), Europe Zone 2- South of the Alps/Mediterranean Countries, and Africa. The reason for the Government's intent to sole source is to extend the ordering period of the IDIQs by forty-five (45) days to ensure support for the warfighter and coverage for Europe Zone 1, Europe Zone 2, and Africa until the new, 3rd Generation MRO contract is awarded. A solicitation for the 3rd Generation MRO contract was issued on 23 July 2025 and closed on 26 September 2026 under solicitation number SPE5B125R0002.
UPDATE: The initial notice of intent published on September 25, 2026, projected a forty-five (45) day bridge ordering period through January 3, 2027. To accommodate an orderly transition and ensure a full sixty (60) day implementation and phase-in window for the successor contractor, and to absorb severe logistical constraints and reduced staffing levels across the major winter Federal holiday seasons, the Government is updating the proposed bridge ordering period to one hundred and one (101) days. This extension is necessary to prevent a catastrophic gap in critical warfighter support during the transition.
Ordering Period Extension Start: November 20, 2026
Ordering Period Extension End: February 28, 2027 (Revised)
