BPHC3 C 7062 6C2922 JA Other Than Full and Open Competition.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a contract modification to extend specialized training and technical assistance services provided by Management Strategists Consulting Group, LLC under contract #HHSH250201400077I/75R60219F34009. The modification is valued at $175,000 for a two-month extension period.

The J&A cites unusual and compelling urgency (FAR 6.302-2) as the basis for the sole-source action. The services involve providing specialized training and technical assistance to improve health care for medically underserved populations through the Health Center Program, State/Regional Primary Care Associations, Health Center Controlled Networks, and other health center recipients. The original contract period was 8/1/19 to 1/31/25. A government freeze on contract actions delayed the re-competition process, necessitating this bridge contract to maintain critical services while a new competitive procurement is completed. The action was originally competed and posted on the GSA schedule as a small business set-aside. The contracting officer determined the price to be fair and reasonable.
