JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION (JOFOC) Research Triangle Park (RTP) Facilities Operations & Maintenance Support Services Extension

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is executing a six-month contract extension for VGS Infrastructure Services, Inc. under contract 68HERD21D0001 to provide operations and maintenance support services for the Research Triangle Park campus. This extension, effective from October 1, 2026, to March 31, 2027, is justified as a sole-source procurement under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) because the incumbent contractor possesses the necessary site clearances, institutional knowledge, and infrastructure to prevent unacceptable operational and safety risks to active laboratories. The services include 24/7 facility repair, replacement, and construction, with a specific focus on HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and building automation systems, as well as emergency response preparedness. The extension is necessary to avoid a lapse in critical services while the agency completes the procurement process for a competitive follow-on contract. The costs for this period are based on existing competed rates from Option Period IV, which the Contracting Officer has determined to be fair and reasonable. A Notice of Intent for Sole Source Modification was publicized on SAM.gov, and the agency intends to transition these requirements to a full and open competition by the end of the extension period.
