Posting of Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition

The Department of State, through Acquisitions - Aqm Momentum, is executing a sole-source, non-competitive reactivation of three Third-Party Monitoring (TPM) contracts in Pakistan under FAR 6.103-2 due to unusual and compelling urgency. This action involves no-cost extensions for incumbent contractors CDM International, Halcrow Pakistan Limited, and Techno Consult International through December 31, 2026. The primary objective is to maintain uninterrupted independent oversight of Government-to-Government (G2G) infrastructure initiatives, specifically the Federally Administered Tribal Areas Infrastructure Program, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Reconstruction Program, and the Municipal Services Program in Sindh. The scope of work requires these contractors to perform site visits, document reviews, and stakeholder consultations to verify that the Government of Pakistan is meeting its obligations regarding quality, safety, and environmental and social standards. The decision to bypass full and open competition is based on the incumbents' irreplaceable regional expertise, established reporting systems, and deep familiarity with approximately 90 percent of existing G2G programs. Because these extensions utilize previously obligated funds and incur no additional costs to the government, the estimated contract value for this specific action is zero dollars. Performance is conducted entirely within Pakistan, with the U.S. Government retaining final acceptance authority based on the monitors' impartial verification of project outcomes.
