4. IDENTIFICATION OF THE AUTHORITY AND CIRCUMSTANCE THAT JUSTIFIES LIMITING THE SOURCE.

FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C) -- In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order that was not previously issued under limited-sources procedures.

5. DESCRIPTION OF THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED TO MEET THE AGENCY S NEEDS.

AWP is a General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) order, awarded competitively on 30 September 2020. The task order was awarded as a Firm Fixed Price contract with a base year, four option years through 29 September 2025. The current order is extended by 6 months utilizing 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services, which expires on 29 March 2026. Contractor shall assume Applications Service Provider (ASP) responsibilities for the Agile AWP products. The Contractor shall provide Operations & Maintenance (O&M) and software/website development services to support and sustain the AWP products (as referenced in Table 1.1) across multiple security domains. Operations shall include support activities and execution of tasks that enable AWP II to achieve performance and service levels in an efficient and cost-effective manner. The Contractor shall prepare and deliver software, source code, and documentation (per CDRL A019: Software Product Specification) for each baseline update or release. The Software Product Specification (SPS) shall include executable software, source files, and software support information/documentation. The Government Program Management Office (PMO) anticipates the need for software development to address emerging requirements but cannot specify details at this time.

The Discovery Catalog has been incorporated into the Globe baseline, and will still require updates to content, useability and UI/UX enhancements. The Contractor will provide content management support for Discovery Catalog that includes review of new content requests and maintenance of existing content. On the Secret and TS domains Globe Lite has been incorporated into the Globe baseline and has replaced mGlobe as search.

This justification is a result of addressing critical tasking required to meet national security requirements in support of the war fighter and meet ongoing mandatory security requirements. The maintenance activities found under these services include corrective, adaptive and perfective. Under corrective maintenance, this will identify, isolate, and rectify a fault or problem to restore a system or application to an operation state. In addition, this will provide further development support to fix identified defects, which falls under corrective maintenance. The adaptive maintenance provides modifications to keep a system or application usable in a changed or changing environment. The perfective maintenance delivers a modification to improve system or application performance or maintainability. Under adaptive and perfective maintenance, these funds will also be used for crisis support (such as Israel-Gaza and Ukraine-Russia).

We are proceeding with an extension of the current contract to maintain essential services while simultaneously conducting a comprehensive assessment of evolving requirements. This extension period will provide the necessary time to coordinate with other offices and thoroughly define and align future contractual and technical specifications with NGA strategic objectives.

As program requirements evolve, and the availability of competitive offerings change, program options for future purchases will be examined. The requirements office will continue to strive to promote competition to the maximum extent possible. This will be the opportunity for other providers to participate in market research and potential competitive acquisitions.

Prior to the conclusion of this extension, NGA plans to gain a better understanding of industries current , holding an industry day, and schedule one-on-one discussions with vendors in order to conduct solid market research.

I, acting as the Procuring Activity Competition Advocate, have determined that limiting sources to fewer than those required by FAR 8.405-2, pursuant to the authority of 41 U.S.C. 152(3), is justified based on the following circumstance: FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C) -- In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order that was not previously issued under limited-sources procedures.
