The Department of the Army, specifically the W7PA USPFO Activity PR ARNG, has awarded a sole-source contract for architect and engineering services to CH2M HILL-HDR JV. The scope of work involves a code and criteria review of design plans and specifications for the Puerto Rico Army National Guard Project No. 431850, which consists of an Engineering-Housing Maintenance Shop at the Camp Santiago Joint Training Center in Salinas, Puerto Rico. This action is classified under NAICS 541330 Engineering Services and PSC C1EC ARCHITECT AND ENGINEERING- CONSTRUCTION: PRODUCTION BUILDINGS. There is no set-aside designated for this requirement.
The award was finalized on September 30, 2025, following a Notice of Intent to Sole Source that yielded no viable competitive alternatives. CH2M HILL-HDR JV was identified as the only responsible source because the firm is the original Designer of Record for the project. The government determined that utilizing the original firm is necessary to maintain professional liability and responsibility, ensure intimate knowledge of the design during the update of codes and regulations, and prevent substantial duplication of costs or unacceptable delays. Argenies Gonzalez serves as the Contracting Officer for this award, which was documented with a single attachment regarding the justification for a sole-source selection.
