Ceiling Increase & RFO 52.217-8 add

Contract FA480921D0005JA2 is a sole-source Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Firm Fixed Price contract awarded to Southern Management Inc. for critical airfield and roadway infrastructure maintenance at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina. The current action involves a ceiling increase of 2.3 million dollars, raising the total cumulative contract ceiling from 27.9 million dollars to 30.2 million dollars. Additionally, the period of performance has been extended by 180 days via the addition of FAR clause 52.217-8, moving the contract end date from August 24, 2026, to February 20, 2027. The scope of work focuses on mission-essential pavement repairs in high-traffic and sensitive areas, including munitions storage zones and water line repairs, to support F-15E and KC-46A operations. This award is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) due to the incumbent contractor's unique, site-specific geological expertise and the use of AFCEC-approved hybrid sub-grade stabilization methodologies. The government determined that utilizing a different source would create an unacceptable learning curve and severe operational disruptions. Key projects funded under this increase include KC-46 mooring points, MSA parking lot phase I, water distribution line repairs, and MSA road repairs. Future competition will be mitigated through the release of geotechnical data and a formal RFI process on SAM.gov for a follow-on acquisition.
