This notice shall not be construed as a solicitation announcement. The United States Government is under no obligation to award a contract as a result of this notice.

View moreThis bridge action is a continuation of services currently being performed under IDIQ: SPE5B1-21-D-0004, awarded to TWI USA, LLC. The follow-on acquisition is already in progress, but due to procurement timelines, a limited-duration extension is necessary to prevent a lapse in mission-essential service.
A sole-source bridge is being pursued because any transition of work to a new entity at this stage would introduce unacceptable delays and inefficiencies in fulfilling the Agency's requirements. The incumbent’s business systems, including established supplier and transportation agreements, unique understanding of customer requirements, and systems integration with DLA Troop Support, are deeply embedded in ongoing operations. Restarting or onboarding a new contractor for a short duration would result in duplicative costs, loss of institutional knowledge, and disruption to time-sensitive logistical support.
This contract supports the MRO requirements for Africa. The prime vendor serves as the central hub for managing all aspects of the supply chain, including the sourcing of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) supplies; plumbing supplies; electrical products; various tools; chemical and rubber products; construction supplies (e.g., cement, lumber, bricks); prefabricated structures; appliances; utility vehicles; and perimeter security items, as well as related incidental commercial services.
All work is governed by the Statement of Work / Performance Work Statement. The contractor ensures continuity across the supply chain, supports logistical management, and maintains the technical infrastructure needed to support seamless EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) system integration, enabling timely and efficient delivery of MRO supplies to meet DLA's readiness needs.
The 6-month bridge contract modification is required to ensure effective continuity of operations from 20 May 2026 through 19 Nov 2026.
The Defense Logistics Agency, Troop Support Europe and Africa, issued a Justification and Approval for a sole-source bridge action under solicitation SPE5B126XMRO3. This acquisition ensures the uninterrupted management and coordination of Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) supply chain activities throughout Africa. The bridge action extends services currently provided by TWI USA, LLC under contract SPE5B1-21-D-0004 to avoid mission-critical disruptions while a competitive follow-on contract is finalized. This modification provides a six-month period of performance effective from May 20, 2026, through November 19, 2026.
The prime vendor serves as the central hub for sourcing, consolidating, and delivering a broad range of commercial items and incidental services. The scope of supply includes heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, plumbing supplies, electrical products, tools, chemical and rubber products, and construction materials such as cement, lumber, and bricks. Additionally, the contractor manages the delivery of prefabricated structures, appliances, utility vehicles, and perimeter security items. The vendor maintains the necessary technical infrastructure for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) system integration and manages the supplier networks and transportation agreements required for facility maintenance and operation.
This requirement is classified under NAICS 423610 for Electrical Apparatus and Equipment, Wiring Supplies, and Related Equipment Merchant Wholesalers and PSC 9999 for Miscellaneous Items. A sole-source bridge was selected because the incumbent’s established business systems and logistical integrations are deeply embedded in ongoing operations, and transitioning to a new entity for a short duration would result in duplicative costs and unacceptable delays. One redacted justification document was published on May 20, 2026, in support of this action. Mark Jordan is the designated point of contact for this notice.
