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 (DLA) Troop Support Europe and Africa issued this Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole-source bridge action under solicitation number SPE5B126XMRO3. The requirement ensures the uninterrupted management and coordination of Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) supply chain activities across Africa. Classified under NAICS 423610 (Electrical Apparatus and Equipment, Wiring Supplies, and Related Equipment Merchant Wholesalers) and PSC 9999 (Miscellaneous Items), the acquisition maintains the logistical capacity to source, consolidate, and deliver commercial items necessary for facility operations. This six-month bridge modification extends services from May 20, 2026, through November 19, 2026, to prevent a lapse in mission-essential support while a competitive follow-on contract is finalized.
The bridge action continues services currently performed under IDIQ SPE5B1-21-D-0004 by TWI USA, LLC. The prime vendor acts as the central hub for the supply chain, managing the procurement and delivery of diverse products including HVAC and plumbing supplies, electrical products, tools, chemical and rubber products, construction materials, prefabricated structures, appliances, utility vehicles, and perimeter security items. The scope also includes related incidental commercial services and the maintenance of technical infrastructure for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) system integration.
DLA is pursuing this sole-source justification because the incumbent’s business systems, supplier networks, and transportation agreements are deeply embedded in ongoing operations. Transitioning the work to a new entity for a short duration would result in duplicative costs and unacceptable delays to time-sensitive logistical support.
