BPHC6 7066 JA Other Than Full and Open Competition-3-27-2025.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a modification to an existing contract with Management Solutions Consulting Group, Inc. for the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The modification is for Program Management Technical Assistance and Training: Operational Site Visits (Extend POP), with a total estimated value of $13,063,230.33. The contract will be a hybrid firm fixed-price/cost reimbursement arrangement, extending the current task order for six months from 9/29/21 to 3/28/25 to ensure continuity of critical health center services while new contract competition is being prepared.

The justification cites an unusual and compelling urgency (FAR 6.302-2) as the basis for the contract modification, noting the delay was driven by a change in administration and the need to align ongoing contracts with updated priorities. The modification will allow the incumbent contractor to continue providing technical assistance to Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) awardees/designees, including support for health center program management, training, and operational needs. Efforts are underway to facilitate a full and open competition for future procurement, with a solicitation for a new contract expected to be released in due course.
