Exception Fair Opportunity Tecolote_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity for a Space Systems Command (SSC) Bridge Action task order. The requirement is for Space System Command Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) under the Tecolote One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services Plus (OASIS+) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The task order will support Battle Management Command, Control, Communication and Space Intelligence (BMC3I) with advisory and assistance services, including strategic cell, acquisition support, strategic communication, information management, acquisition reporting, task management, budget integration and analysis, financial reconciliation, administration, and personnel support.

The estimated total cost is $8.4M, with a base period of 6 months (24 Dec 25 - 23 Jun 26) at $4.2M and two 3-month option periods at $2.1M each. The bridge action is necessary due to the current GSA Task Order ending on 23 December 2025, and is complicated by government shutdowns, staffing shortages, and budget constraints. The justification emphasizes the critical need to maintain mission support, retain specialized personnel with high-level security clearances, and ensure continuity of vital intelligence production and services. The document includes certifications from the Program Manager, Contracting Officer, and Approving Officials, with signatures dated in December 2025.
