MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

FROM: Defense Counterintelligence Security Agency (DCSA)

SUBJECT: Notification of the Consolidation of Operations Cell Support Services and

Management Analysis and Planning Support

Adjudication and Vetting Services (AVS) plans to consolidate two existing contracts task orders: Vetting Risk Operations (VRO) Operations Cell Support Services (HS002119F0132) and Consolidated Adjudication Support (CAS) Management Analysis and Planning Support (HS002122F0041). These contract task orders will be consolidated into one contract task order named Adjudication and Vetting Services Portfolio, Program, and Project Management Support to establish program and project management support services under a single entity to limit duplication of efforts by including similar efforts under the same programmatic umbrella.

In accordance with FAR 7.107-2 and 7.107-5(c), the Senior Procurement Executive (SPE) at DCSA has determined a consolidation of contract requirements for “Adjudication and Vetting Services Portfolio, Program, and Project Management Support” is necessary and justified in order to provide substantial benefit to the Government. This determination was made after ensuring that:

(1) Market research has been conducted;

(2) Any alternative contracting approaches that would involve a lesser degree of consolidation have been identified;

(3) The determination is coordinated with the agency's Office of Small Disadvantaged Business Utilization or the Office of Small Business Programs;

(4) Any negative impact by the acquisition strategy on contracting with small business concerns has been identified; and

(5) Steps are taken to include small business concerns in the acquisition strategy.

IAW the FAR and 15 U.S.C. § 657q(c)(2)(C), the determination (redacted) will be posted with the solicitation on GSA eBuy. The procurement will be utilizing the OASIS Small Business Pool 1 contracting vehicle.
