FA8622-23-F-2302 _UpdatedRedactions_Redacted_Release.pdf

This is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (Bridge Action) document for an extension to an existing Air Force contract supporting Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) for the Survivable Airborne Operations Center (SAOC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

The extension covers a 9-month base period (1 July 2026 – 30 March 2027) with an optional 6-month extension period (1 April 2027 – 30 September 2027), for a total estimated bridge value of $25,128,710. The bridge is being awarded on a sole-source basis to the incumbent contractor, Astrion, under existing Task Order FA8622-23-F-2302 (original award date 7 July 2023, current expiration 30 June 2026). The extension is classified as an Individual determination under RFO 6.103-1 (only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements). The contracting activity is AFLCMC/AZS at the EPASS Program Office. The contract utilizes a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) structure with four Cost Line Items (CLINs): Labor, Travel/Operational Deployment Costs (ODC), Contractor Acquisition Fees (CAF), and Data (NSP). The base period cost estimate is $14,855,005.00, with the option period cost redacted. The justification cites the need to prevent service disruptions for 53 Contractor Manpower Equivalents (CMEs) while the follow-on FOPR 77 competitive procurement is completed, with planned Task Order Award on 2 February 2027 and transition completion by 31 March 2027. The cost estimate was derived using existing B/D table rates, current escalation factors, and Bridge actuals.
