The period of performance is for a six (6) month base period from 1 March 2020 through 31 August 2020 with one three (3) month option. The total estimated value is $3,945.692.28 using Operations and Maintenance, Marine Corps (O&M) funds.

4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than full and Open Competition

This action is pursuant to 41 U.S.C. § 3304(a)(l) and 10 U.S.C.

§ 2304(d)(l)(B), as implemented by FAR 6.302-l(a)(2)(iii)(B), "services may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of follow-on contracts for the continued provision of highly specialized services when it is likely that award to any other source would result in[ ... ] unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements."

5. Rational Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority

This requirement is currently being met through bridge contract M67861-19-C-0002, which was awarded on 28 August 2019 as a result of HHS/PSC’s decision to not execute any contract actions for any non-HHS agencies.

During the execution of the current bridge contract, MARFORRES teamed up with US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)-Huntsville and their ESS/IT Infrastructure program office to further develop this requirement and work on a long-term solution. In January 2020, USACE notified MARFORRES that they would need additional time beyond the current bridge period of performance to establish a long-term assisted acquisition solution.

MARFORRES continues to work with USACE-Huntsville and have an estimated follow-on award in July 2020.

Based on the contracting officer’s assessment to reasonably continue these mission critical IT infrastructure support services while a long-term, program level assisted acquisition is being worked, a nine (9) month, six (6) month base and three (3) month option, bridge contract is required. This bridge contract will provide adequate time for the acquisition team to successfully continue the services while allowing for a one (1) month transition period.

6. Description of Efforts Made to Solicit Offers from as Many Offerors as Possible.

There are no known sources who can immediately provide the required services without resulting in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements; however, as previously stated, the contracting activity is currently working on a follow-on program level assisted acquisition to fulfill this requirement long-term.

The goal of this action is to ensure uninterrupted services are provided while a long-term follow-on action is completed.

7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost

The Contracting Officer shall determine that the firm-fixed-price to the Government for these services covered under this J&A is fair and reasonable.

This is a non-competitive action to extend the existing bridge contract. Market research performed using the original PSC task order under the NITAAC CIO-SP3 vehicle and the GSA CALC tool was the basis for the IGCE. (See Tab B of the file) Based on market research, the Government estimates a total labor cost of $1.865 million (exclusive of travel and material costs) for this six (6) month base and $992,000 for the one three (3) month option period (See tables below). The Government estimates the total value of the bridge contract (inclusive of travel and material costs) to be $3.95 million.
