    The Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Pacific, is issuing a Justification and Approval for a non-competitive, firm fixed-price modification to an existing contract with Vectrus Systems Corporation. This modification, under Contract N62742-16-D-3552, Task Order N62742-22-F-4023, is for the continued operation of the 5 Million Gallon per Day Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) filtration systems at Red Hill to remediate the Red Hill Aquifer. The modification also includes leasing four new Ion Exchange (IX) Resin Tanks for PFAS treatment at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility and twelve additional GAC tanks for emergency drinking water use at West Loch Navy Facility. The sole-source award to Vectrus is justified due to their familiarity with the existing system, the need for continuity of service, and the time-sensitive nature of the requirement to comply with regulatory agreements and prepare for potential drinking water emergencies. Competition would cause unacceptable delays and increased costs due to security clearances and mobilization. A permanent solution for Red Hill is in the design phase and will be competitively procured in the future.
