J&A to Increase Capacity for Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract for Architect-Engineer Services for Various Utility Projects and Other Projects Primarily under the Cognizance of Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Hawaii, Various Lo

This Justification and Approval document, issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Hawaii under solicitation N62478JA23-13, seeks to increase the maximum not-to-exceed value of Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract N62478-20-D-5036. The contract is held by the Jacobs/Black and Veatch Joint Venture, which provides architect-engineer services for various utility and other projects primarily under the cognizance of NAVFAC Hawaii. The increase in capacity is necessary to support ongoing task orders and ensure the completion of critical designs. The request for additional funding is justified under 10 USC 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, asserting that the Jacobs/Black and Veatch Joint Venture is the only viable source for these services. Because the contractor currently serves as the Designer of Record, the agency maintains that engaging a different source would lead to unacceptable delays and a substantial duplication of costs. The performance of these services is centered at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii.
