NWS Screwworm Facility

The contract pertains to a justification and approval for supporting four separate out-of-scope undefinitized contract actions related to the NWS Screwworm Facility, authorized under solicitation number W9126G26CA011, posted on July 24, 2026. These UCAs are necessary to facilitate urgent or critical work that falls outside the original scope of any existing contract, requiring formal approval due to their unanticipated nature. The activity is linked to NAICS code 236220, indicating construction of commercial buildings, and is managed by the Office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under the Department of Defense, specifically the W076 Endist Ft Worth organization based in Fort Worth, Texas. The prime point of contact is Dianne Grimes, reachable via phone and email, with Nicholas Johnston as secondary contact, ensuring coordination and oversight of the actions. The place of performance is not precisely defined in the metadata, leaving the exact location open, but the administrative and fiscal responsibility resides at the Fort Worth, Texas facility. The nature of the work likely involves biological or agricultural infrastructure related to screwworm eradication efforts, which may include facility modifications, equipment procurement, or operational support under urgent timelines. As undefinitized actions, the terms, including pricing and delivery schedules, remain undetermined at the time of authorization, necessitating swift negotiation and finalization to maintain program continuity. All four UCAs remain under review and approval, with documentation prepared to justify the absence of competing offers or the need for immediate action under existing authority.
