DECISION Amentum Parsons Logistics Services LLC, of Arlington, Virginia, protests the decision of the Department of the Army, Army Contracting Command--Rock Island, to add optional years of performance to task order No. W52P1J19F0394, issued by the agency to KBR Services, LLC, of Houston Texas, for support services for the U.S. European Command (EUCOM). The protester alleges that the agency has not properly justified procuring these services on a sole‑source basis. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND Logistics Civil Augmentation Program The Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) is a U.S. Army comprehensive strategic sourcing indefinite‑delivery, indefinite‑quantity (IDIQ) contracting vehicle that provides base operations support and sustainment services to U.S. Geographic Combatant Commands and Army Service Component Commands around the globe. Contracting Officer's Statement and Memorandum of Law (COS/MOL) at 2. LOGCAP is currently in its fifth generation, referred to as LOGCAP V. Id. In April 2019, the agency awarded LOGCAP V IDIQ contracts to four contractors, including KBR Services and the protester, each having an initial ordering period of five years and five 1‑year options. Id. at 3. Concurrently with those awards, the agency issued two types of task orders under the awarded contracts, known as set-the-theater (STT) task orders and performance task orders (PTO), in support of each of seven U.S. combatant commands and military operations as follows: Northern Command (NORTHCOM); Southern Command (SOUTHCOM); EUCOM; Africa Command (AFRICOM); U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM); Indo‑Pacific Command (INDOPACOM); and Afghanistan. Id. The STT task orders included a base year of performance and nine 1‑year options. Id. The PTOs, which constituted the larger component of the issued task orders, included a base year of performance and four 1‑year options. Id.; see also AECOM Mgmt. Servs., Inc.--Advisory Op., B‑417506.12, Sept. 18, 2019, 2019 CPD ¶ 342 at 2‑3 (discussing LOGCAP V task order structure). The periods of performance of the STT task orders run roughly from April 2019 to various points in 2029 and 2030. COS/MOL at 3. The periods of performance of the PTOs run roughly from as early as March of 2020 to various points in 2025 to 2028. Id. The agency intended to recompete the issued PTOs at the end of their 5‑year periods of performance, as well as to issue additional PTOs as the need arose. Id. When KBR Services and the protester were awarded their LOGCAP V IDIQ contracts, they also received STT task orders and PTOs. Id. KBR Services received STT task orders and PTOs for EUCOM, NORTHCOM, and Afghanistan. Id. The protester received an STT task order and a PTO for SOUTHCOM. Id. At issue here is the agency's intended action with respect to KBR Services' EUCOM PTO. Army Pre‑positioned Stock Programs Also relevant here are the agency's Army Pre‑positioned Stock (APS) programs, pursuant to which vehicles and equipment are pre‑positioned in five areas of the world to equip Army regionally‑aligned forces when they rotate into theater for training, disaster relief, theater security, or contingency operations. Id. Four of the APS mission areas are aligned with one of the U.S.
