4. Authority Cited Permitting a Fair Opportunity Exception and Rationale:

(FAR 8.405-6(c)(2)(iv), FAR 16.505(b)(2)(ii)(B)(4))

FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(C), “The order must be issued on a sole-source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency as a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract, provided that all awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original order”.

The existing task order provides Win the Current Fight-Afghan (WTCF-AFG) Wargaming IT support under HQ USSOCOM J-3. J&A KS 13-003, under authority of FAR 6.302-1 (a)(2)(iii), extended the ordering period of all IDIQ basic contracts under the SITEC Application Management Tower and details the need to extend services for 2 option years. This action extends the performance period for the specified task order.

5. Efforts/Actions to Increase Competition: (FAR 8.405-6{c)(2)(viii) FAR 16.505(b )(2)(ii)(8)(7))

In accordance with FAR 16.505(a)(1) orders under indefinite-delivery contracts do not have to be synopsized. Paragraph 4, above, justifies why competition among all awardees is not possible for this acquisition at this time. All SITEC Application Management contract holders were provided fair opportunity at the time of original award. This task will be recompeted along with the recompete of the successor acquisition vehicle to the SITEC Application Management Tower in 2016.

6. Market Research: (FAR 8.405-6(c)(2)(vi))

Market Research was conducted prior to the original award of the SITEC Application Management IDIQ Tower. The other 6 contractors under the Tower are known to be capable of fulfilling this requirement but do not have the incumbent's knowledge and experience with this specific program.

A review of the Technical Industrial Liaison Office (TILO) and Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP) databases were reviewed and no other sources were found that were capable of mobilizing and meeting this requirement in the time required.
