22F00130-P00016 SF1012 Limited Sources Jusitifcation-redacted.pdf

This is a Limited Sources Justification form from the Department of Treasury's Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) for increasing the ceiling on an investigative services task order with AvantGarde, LLC. The modification adds 2,292 labor hours and $242,745.72 to the original task order which had 540 hours at $57,191.40, bringing the total modification value to $299,937.12.

The justification cites a dramatic increase in allegations requiring investigation, necessitating additional hours to handle ongoing and new cases. The OCC is removing the final option year to accommodate ceiling increases needed for the current year and option year 3. The work involves investigative services for EEO cases as required by EEOC standards, with AvantGarde serving as a neutral third party investigator. The justification cites FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B) as the authority, indicating only one source is capable of providing these highly specialized services. Market research was not conducted as this modifies a competitively awarded task order.
