Temporary Modular Office Facility (Laughlin AFB)

The Department of the Army, Joint Task Force–Southern Border (JTF‑SB), intends to award a sole‑source contract for continued support and sustainment of the existing Relocatable Building (RLB) Tactical Operations Center (TOC) located at Laughlin Air Force Base, Del Rio, Texas as specified in the performance work statement (PWS).  This action is being pursued under FAR 6.103-1(b), which authorizes contracting without full and open competition when only one responsible source is capable of providing the required supplies or services and no other source can meet the agency’s needs. 

The RLB TOC is the battalion’s only secure mission‑command node and contains integrated classified communications infrastructure, including SIPR/NIPR hardline drops, a Small Network Node (SNN), crypto devices, classified radios, and buried secure network pathways. The facility’s utilities, including water, electrical power, and sewer, are permanently tied into the base infrastructure through engineered, buried conduits. These systems cannot be dismantled, relocated, or reconstructed without exposing classified pathways and interrupting secure communications.

Any vendor other than the incumbent would be unable to perform the required services without dismantling the existing facility, which would result in the exposure of classified systems, a minimum twenty‑day loss of secure command‑and‑control capability, and unacceptable operational impacts to JTF‑SB and the 315th Engineer Battalion. Based on market research, the incumbent contractor is the only responsible source capable of providing uninterrupted support without compromising classified infrastructure.

This notice is not a request for competitive proposals or quotes. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement that will be considered by the Government. Responses must clearly demonstrate the ability to perform the required services without dismantling, relocating, or interrupting the existing classified infrastructure.
