JUSTIFICATION FOR DECISION

1. This written justification is based on requirements cited in FAR 7.107-2.

2. No alternative contracting approaches that would involve a lesser degree of consolidation would be appropriate.

3. Strategic and Mission-Focused Benefits Mission Criticality

• Mission Criticality: Consolidation will help align all the efforts with strategic goals.

• Improved Management and Quality Control: Having a single contract provides a single point of government and contractor management. It prevents any possible miscommunications between several different government and contractor entities.

This simplifies oversight, allows for more efficient management processes, and ensures a more consistent level of quality across the entire scope of work.

4. Operational and Performance Benefits

• Enhanced Performance and Efficiency: A single, integrated contract eliminates duplication of effort across similar contracts and reduces the risk of performance gaps or technical conflicts that can arise when the government has to act as the integrator between multiple contractors.

• Better Terms and Conditions: A consolidated contract ensures consistency in terms, conditions, and requirements, which is vital for avoiding conflicts that can arise from different contractors operating under separate agreements.

5. Administrative and Financial Benefits

• Cost Savings and Price Reductions: By combining requirements, the government can leverage its buying power to achieve economies of scale, leading to lower prices and overall cost savings. The government estimates of keeping the contracts “as is” equals approximately $2.32 million annually, while the government estimates cost after consolidation to be approximately $1.4 million annually. The resulting annual savings would be approximately $920,000 or 40%, exceeding the threshold of FAR

7.107-2(c)(3)(i) to be considered a substantial benefit.

• Reduced Administrative Burden: Managing one contract is significantly less work than managing multiple. This reduces the time, effort, and cost associated with contract administration, invoicing, and oversight for the contracting office.

• Reduced Procurement Action Lead Time (PALT): Running a single procurement process instead of several separate ones significantly reduces the time it takes to get the contract awarded and the work started.

DECISION

1. Based on market research, the procurement strategy of the consolidated contract provides for maximum practicable participation by small business as it would be set aside for small businesses, specifically Small Disadvantaged Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB).

2. The consolidation of these contracts is appropriate, critical to the agency's mission success, and would result in substantial benefits to the government as documented above.
