E24_21C0007_33_Redacted Justification and Approval_20231120_.pdf

This document is a justification and approval for a sole-source award related to Federal Contract Opportunity N6339421C0007 for In-Service Engineering and Life Cycle Support for C5I Elements from the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command. The justification cites urgency due to a lapse in contract coverage that could impact the Navy's ability to perform required maintenance and modernization for command, control, communications, computers, combat systems and intelligence systems. The sole-source award would be to the incumbent contractor due to their extensive knowledge of the systems gained over a 12-year period of performing the same services under previous contracts, in order to prevent major schedule delays and cost impacts. The justification and approval was signed on November 20, 2022.
