Customs Cargo Inspection Facility Snow Removal Extension

The contract extends snow and ice removal services at the U.S. Customs Cargo Inspection Facility located at 2810 W. Fort St., Detroit, MI 48216, under a sole-source modification issued by the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, Acquisition Facility Management Contracting Division East. The extension, effective from November 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027, is authorized under FAR 6.302-2 due to unusual and compelling urgency, as no other contractor can match the incumbent’s intimate knowledge of the facility’s operations, infrastructure, and security requirements. The contractor must provide 24/7 management, supervision, labor, and equipment—including heavy machinery and hand tools such as snow shovels—to clear snow and ice from all federal property areas including entrances, driveways, roadways, parking zones, handicapped access points, and critical security portals. Continuous service is mandatory to ensure operational readiness, with performance assessed on-site by the government. The extension is executed under FAR clause 52.217-8, which permits the option to extend services without recompetition, and the contract is priced at $14,013.53 per month, totaling $84,081.18 for the six-month period. Security clearances are required for all personnel, and continuity of existing staff is critical to maintaining uninterrupted service. The contractor, identified by UEI NETCT2QJGL3E, is the sole entity with the institutional expertise and cleared workforce capable of meeting these unique demands. No formal evaluation factors, performance standards, packaging requirements, or invoicing protocols are specified, and the government assumes full responsibility for inspection and acceptance. The contracting officer, Dorell Dubiak, certifies the justification, with no evidence of socioeconomic certifications, organizational conflicts of interest assessments, or alternate pricing structures. The contract type is presumed firm-fixed-price based on the use of the option clause, though not explicitly confirmed.
