This is a justification and approval for the AbilityOne Base Supply Center (ABOBSC) Tailored Logistics Support (TLS) Program. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support is seeking to solicit for DLA requirements on an other than full and open competition basis. This action approves bridge contracts for a period of 180 days to provide purchasing of materials and installation support under the ABOBSC TLS Program contracts to support military installations and federal activities worldwide. The proposed bridge contracts will be effective from April 21, 2026, through October 18, 2026, with a total program maximum dollar value of $150 million for this 180-day period. The ABOBSC TLS Program is a multiple award program with post-award competition of delivery orders, and contracts were competitively awarded to sixteen AbilityOne businesses. The statutory authority for this action is 10 U. S. C. 3204a1. The use of this authority is necessary to maintain continuity of support for ABOBSC TLS Program customers worldwide, as award to any other sources would result in unacceptable delays. The ABOBSC TLS vendors have established customer support, supplier, and transportation arrangements, and systems interfacing with DLA Troop Support. Failure to continue performance without these bridge contracts will result in unacceptable delays and potential mission failure. The requirement will be published on SAM. gov, and the justification will be made available for public inspection after award. The anticipated cost to the government is determined to be fair and reasonable, with ceiling prices from original contracts continuing to serve as ceiling prices. The scope of items supplied includes, but is not limited to, computer accessories, desk supplies, shipping supplies, printing supplies, environmentally green cleaners, disposable paper products, breakroom supplies, kitchen cleaning, prograde tools, lighting equipment, paints, painting accessories, padlocks, safety equipment, safety apparel, floor mats, safety treads, OSHA compliant products, organizational clothing and individual equipment (OCIE), DLA items, unique military items, tactical gear, office furniture, space planning, and installation support. The notice also mentions marine lifesaving and diving equipment.
The proposed bridge contracts will have an effective period of April 21, 2026, through October 18, 2026.
