This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a contract extension for the HUD OCIO GEMS Support Services. The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Assisted Acquisition Services is seeking to extend the current contract with IVA'AL SOLUTIONS, LLC for the Grants Evaluation and Management System (GEMS) for one month, from September 2, 2025 to October 2, 2025. The extension is necessary due to a GAO protest of a follow-on task order, which was withdrawn on August 25, 2025. The contract modification will extend commercial IT support services for HUD's GEMS, which is a modernized IT system developed by the Office of Native American Programs to manage tribal housing programs. The total contract value will increase from $856,888.50 to $916,284.10, with the extension valued at $59,395.60. The extension will ensure continuity of operations for critical functions like processing housing plans, performance reports, and mortgage-related activities.
