    This document outlines a Class justification and approval (J&A) from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for limited competition during the solicitation of ten firm-fixed-price construction contracts at the Erbil Air Base (EAB) in Iraq, funded with $15 million from Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Army funds for FY 2025. Given security regulations imposed by the Kurdistan Regional Government, only vendors on the Asayish Approved Vendor List, which consists of seventy vetted contractors, can be solicited. The approved projects include essential constructions such as maintenance bays and operation centers to support military readiness and operations under Operation Inherent Resolve. Due to the unique security requirements and access provisions dictated by regional governance, full and open competition is not practicable, as firms not on the approved list cannot gain access to EAB. The document emphasizes the necessity of adhering to these protocols to mitigate risks associated with national security and project execution, stating that failure to comply may impede critical military operations in the region. Hence, the J&A is designed to streamline the contracting process while ensuring compliance with governmental standards and regulations.
