Intent to Sole Source - Technical information, Administrative, and Logistics Services (TIALS II)
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Glenn Research Center (NASA GRC) has issued a Special Notice regarding the intent to sole source a contract extension for Technical Information, Administrative, and Logistics Services (TIALS II). The notice specifically outlines NASA's plan to extend the current contract with Alcyon Technical Services (ATS) JV, LLC for up to twelve months beyond the current contract end date of March 31, 2025. The extension is structured to provide continuous support for critical logistics services, including property management, supply management, transportation operations, mail processing, and metrology calibration services. NASA GRC has determined that only ATS has the capability to provide these essential support services without interruption. The extension will be processed under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii) and is not intended to acquire a commercial product or service.
Contractors interested in this opportunity must submit their capabilities and qualifications electronically to Rita K. Dickens, the Contracting Officer, by 4:00 PM Eastern Time on March 7, 2025. The submission will be evaluated solely to determine whether the acquisition should be conducted on a competitive basis, with the final decision remaining at the government's discretion. The contract is set aside for total small business participation and falls under the NAICS category of Facilities Support Services (561210). The proposed extension will initially cover four months, with the potential for eight additional one-month optional extensions. Contractors should note that NASA Clause 1852.215-84 regarding the Ombudsman is applicable to this acquisition, and interested parties can find the Center Ombudsman information through the provided NASA procurement website link.

2/21/25, 12:18 PM Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for Technical Information, Administrative, and Logistics Services (TIALS II)
NASA Glenn Research Center has issued a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) to extend the Technical Information, Administrative, and Logistics Services (TIALS II) contract with Alcyon Technical Services (ATS) JV, LLC for an additional 12 months, from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026. The extension is necessitated by a protest of the follow-on Glenn Logistics and Metrology (GLAM) contract award, requiring continued uninterrupted services. The contract covers critical logistics services including property management, supply management, freight traffic, transportation operations, move operations, mail processing, special events, airport courier services, stock purchases, and metrology/calibration services. NASA determined ATS is the only responsible source capable of providing these specialized services without significant disruption, based on their unique knowledge of NASA GRC facilities, regulatory requirements, and established operational processes. The estimated total contract value for the extension is $11,570,666.93, with NASA planning to complete the GLAM acquisition between May and July 2025 while continuing to explore alternative solutions for future contracts.
