The current task order was competed on NETCENTS 1 contract vehicle with only two competitors and the acquistion process took approximately 6-months. There are only four

(4) months remaining until the current task order expiration and the extension of services clause was not included in contract because NETCENTS 1 period of performance ends 8 Sep 15. Additionally, this requirement is a only a bridge contract with a max period of performance for the base year of 3-months with three (3) one-month options to allow for the award and transition of Integrated Air Force Network Operations & Services (IAFNOS) contract. Thus, an urgent and compelling need exists due to the short amount of time until the current task order expires would result in unacceptable delay causing mission failure for the cyberspace operations weapon systems.
