JUSTIFICATION & APPROVAL UNDER FAR PART 6

6. A description of efforts to ensure that offers were solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable, including whether a notice was or will be publicized as required by FAR subpart 5.2 and, if not, which exception under FAR 5.202 applies:

The initial procurement for these services was the result of competition. However, post-award processing timelines have restricted the Government’s ability to award the follow-on contract, and there is not enough time for a contractor to transition to a new awardee to continue providing the services. The Government is in the process of seeking competition for these services for the subsequent acquisition.

In accordance with FAR subpart 5.2, a notice of intent to award a sole source contract under the authority of FAR subpart 13.5 will be posted on the Government Point of Entry.

7. A determination by the contracting officer that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable:

The Contracting Officer determines that the anticipated price will be fair and reasonable based on a reasonable increase to the pricing the vendor currently charges and demonstrated fair dealing from Innovative Driven on previous contract modifications involving price.

8. A description of the market research conducted (see FAR part 10) and the results or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted:

Market research was conducted in conjunction with the upcoming re-competition of the services. There are sufficient commercial sources in the market to satisfy the government’s needs except for the need to execute a data migration and transition by 5 February 2025 (given that completing an award, onboarding, and transitioning to a new contractor is not possible by that date).
