Goddard Logistics and Technical Information II (GLTI II) Services
This Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Center provides rationale for a nine-month, non-competitive extension to contract number 80GSFC17C0010 with TRAX International Corporation for continued Goddard Logistics and Technical Information II services. These services include logistics support, technical information management, supply, property management, transportation, packing, mail management, and export control at locations in Greenbelt, Maryland and Wallops Island, Virginia. The justification cites avoiding disruption to ongoing activities and a new contractor's lack of familiarity with work requirements as rationale. The current contract value with TRAX International Corporation is $418,869,002 and the estimated cost for the nine-month extension period from February 1, 2024 through October 31, 2024 is redacted.

NASA/GSFC intends to issue a sole source 1 year contract extension to the current Cost-Plus-Fixed Fee (CPFF) with Technical Performance Incentives contract, Goddard Logistics and Technical Information II (GLTI II), 80GSFC17C0010, with TRAX International Corporation. This extension is being made under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.” Conducting a competitive procurement for the continuation of these services would seriously impact current ongoing logistics services activities.

The services provided under the Logistics contract are essential for GSFC to meet its goals and objectives that directly affect mission success.
