Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition
Utilities Privatization, Contract SP060024C8360

1. Summary/Introduction:

The Defense Logistics Agency Energy (DLA Energy) Utility Services Division is the contracting activity for utility services in support of the Military Services’ Utilities Privatization (UP) programs for the Department of War. This is a justification for other than full and open competition (J&A) under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(2), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.103-2, Unusual and Compelling Urgency, for a 12-month period of performance extension to contract SP060024C8360 for the privatized wastewater utility services at Redstone Arsenal, AL. This contract expires on November 9, 2026. The 12-month extension of the period of performance is from November 10, 2026 to November 9, 2027, and will increase the contract value by

.
As the owner of the wastewater utility system at Redstone Arsenal, Mission Critical Environmental, LLC (MCE) is required to provide reliable and dependable wastewater utility services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. MCE is also required to maintain, repair, and make necessary upgrades to its system to reach or maintain industry standards. This J&A has been approved and publicized after award, in accordance with FAR 6.103-2(d). Due to the unusual and compelling nature of this requirement, preparation and approval of this J&A prior to award would have unreasonably delayed the acquisition. 2. Nature and/or description of the action being approved (FAR 6.104-1(a)(2)): The extension by contract modification will not change the contract type, which is Fixed Price with Economic Price Adjustment. Only MCE, as the sole owner of the wastewater utility system, can provide such privatized utility services. Once the period of performance of the contract is extended, MCE will continue to own, operate, maintain, renew, and replace the wastewater utility system at Redstone Arsenal. The 12-month extension will be executed via bilateral contract modification. MCE has not performed any work related to the 12-month extension. The Army will be providing fiscal year 2027 funds to cover services provided under the 12month extension. Controlled by: DLA Energy FEE
