1. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.104-1(a)(1) – Identification of the agency and the contracting activity, and specific identification of the document as a “Justification for other than full and open competition.”
This document is a justification for other than full and open competition prepared by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) NASA Shared Services Center (NSSC).
The procuring agency is the NASA, and the contracting activity is the NASA Shared Services Center (NSSC).
2. FAR 6.104-1(a)(2) – The nature and/or description of the action being approved: This justification provides the rationale for contracting by other than full and open competition to award a sole-source Task Order (TO) against GSA Areawide Public Utility Contract (GWAC) 47PA0425D0027, awarded June 12, 2025 to Mississippi Power Co (MPC), with a ten-year period of performance. Per the GWAC, “Ancillary Services means Contractor’s services which are provided to an Agency and which are routinely provided by the Contractor, including but not limited to, total maintenance and repair, major restoration and repair, operation and maintenance, studies, emergency restoration resulting from Acts of God, routine maintenance, mapping of an Agency’s facility, and government-owned line extensions, and any other services, as appropriate" (emphasis original). Accordingly, this project for major restoration and replacement of SSC’s Test Complex generators which connect to MPC’s 13.8kV high voltage system, is ancillary to the electric service already provided to Stennis Space Center (SSC) by MPC, as it falls under both restoration and "any other services, as appropriate" in the definition.
3. FAR 6.104-1(a)(3) – A description of the supplies or services required, to meet the Agency’s needs (including the estimated value):
The contractor shall provide all required labor, material, tools, and equipment to design and implement the scope of work identified within the Statement of Work (SOW) and supporting contract documents. This project involves the major restoration and replacement of SSC’s Test Complex generators located at B-4400. The generators connect to MPC’s 13.8kV high voltage system and provide backup power to the test complex. The existing generators have
