This Request for Information is prepared in accordance with DFARS PGI 206.103-1 sources sought requirements. This proposed bridge contract is being processed on a sole source basis.  The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this acquisition is 237990.

The Regional Contracting Office (RCO) Bavaria intends to Award a bridge contract on a sole source basis to Richard Schulz Tiebau GmbH (hereafter referred to as “Schulz”), at , 86633 Neuburg, Bavaria, Germany. The bridge contract will be a modification against the Civil and Structural Engineering Work within the USAG Ansbach Contract (W912PB23D8000).  The modification will provide continuity for the operation and service of Army DPW Ansbach. Contract W912PB23D8000 was awarded on 16 January 2023 with current period of performance end date of 31 March 2026.  This current period of performance will be extended through 30 September 2026 and increase the overall ceiling to Euro 5,500,000.00.

The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to negotiate with one source under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.103-1.  FAR 6.103-1 states “when supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source, or, for DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard, from only one or a limited number of responsible sources, and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, full and open competition need not be provided for.” Frank, is the only company that has the capability to accomplish the critical and immediate schedule for continuity of USAG Bavaria’s mission to avoid the negative impacts of a lapse in coverage.

The Government anticipates no changes from the current contract in the type of tasking or scope.  Due to the breadth and complexity of the work, urgency of the requirement, and level of transition required, it would be cost and schedule prohibitive for any contractor other than the incumbent to ensure continuity of operations at USAG Ansbach.  As such, the bridge contract with Schulz is necessary to ensure continued support of USAG Ansbach.

The place of performance is at United States Army Garrison (USAG) Ansbach.

The bridge contract action is expected to be awarded no later than 01 April 2026.

This is not a request for competitive proposals.  All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which will be considered by the Government.  A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed acquisition based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
