I. Contracting Activity.

Department of the Air Force, Air Mobility Command, 6Qth Contracting Squadron, Travis AFB, CA 94535.

II. Nature and/or description of the action being processed.

In accordance with FAR 52.217-8 Extension of Services clause, David Grant Medical Center (DGMC) is requesting a 2 month extension for a position listed under FA8053-12-D-0005-5M01 with ERP Scientific Partners for the period of 1 Dec 16 to 31 Jan 17 to allow for the follow-on contract award with a start date of 1Feb17. During the solicitation for the follow-on contract, there was a question regarding the SIN used in the solicitation. This question required input from the GSA Contracting Officer which resulted in the need of an extension of the solicitation to allow the GSA Contracting Officer adequate time to provide a response. A two month extension shall be accomplished to allow for clarification and possibly modification to the solicitation if necessary.

The estimated cost of the extension is for the period of performance 1Dec16 to 31 Jan

17. Purchase Request for has been provided by DGMC for the extension of services.

Ill. Description of supplies/services required to meet agency needs.

The position requiring an extension is the Data Analyst, 1 FTE (Full Time Equivalent) on site contract employee.

IV. Statutory authority permitting Other than Full and Open Competition.

Statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(I ), implemented by FAR 6.302-1 (a)(2).

V. Demonstration that the contractor's unique qualifications or nature of the acquisition requires the use of the authority cited above (applicability of authority).

The current vendor has recruited and retained the individual for this position who has the unique responsibilities within DGMC. The individual currently has a CAC to perform the required work without a break in service. To go back out and acquire a new individual would cause significant delays in processing NACI clearances to include the cost associated with processing the documentation.

VI. Description of efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as practicable.

The current vehicle of procurement for these types of positions is the recommended Air Force Medical Service Commodity Council for Consultants, Advisory and Technical Services (CATS) contract. CATS contract FA8053-12-D-0005 will expire 1 February 2017 and task order SMOl under this parent contract will expire 30 November 16. To not allow for a break in medical service, other means of procurement will need to be sought.

On 1 November 2016, a Request for Information (RFI) was issued to GSA's OASIS 44 small business contractors. Three companies submitted acceptable

Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition capability packages and one additional company indicated their interest in the potential acquisition. It is evident through market research that adequate competition exists for contractors who are able to provide the highly specialized positions on the GSA OASIS Contract.

VII. Determination by the Contracting Officer that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

In accordance with FAR 52.217-8 the Government requires the continued support with the limits and rates specified in the contract. The extension of 2 months will be at the same rates currently used on the contract. The Air Force Medical Service Commodity Council (AFMSCC) Consultants, Advisory and Technical Services (CATS) contract was awarded on 02 Feb 12 to 14 contractors that are capable of providing the required services to the Government. Adequate competition was acquired at the time of award under the CATS contract and prices are determined to be fair and reasonable.

VIII. Description of the market research conducted and the results, or a statement of the reasons market research was not conducted.

As stated in section VI, on 1 November 2016, a Request for Information (RFI) was issued to GSA's OASIS 44 small business contractors. Three companies submitted acceptable capability packages and one additional company indicated their interest in the potential acquisition.

IX. Any other facts supporting the use of Other Than Full and Open Competition.

Should there be a break in contract services, the absence of the data analyst would affect DGMC's ability to execute/fix clinics not meeting the current AFMS business plan performance targets per AFMS Knowledge Exchange. Currently, the data analyst is the only individual providing throughput analysis of personnel, referrals PRIME purchased care recaptured and Access of Care & Unmet Demand analysis, which would result in a delay in execution of the FY 17 business performance plan until the position was back under contract.

X. List of sources, if any, that expressed interest in the acquisition.

XI. A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before making subsequent acquisitions for the supplies or services required.
