1. Agency and Contracting Activity: (FAR 8.405-6(c)(2)(i), FAR 16.505(b)(2)(ii)(B)(1))

HQ USSOCOM SORDAC-KS

7701 Tampa Point Blvd.

MacDill AFB, FL 33621-5323

2. Description of Action: (FAR 8.405-6(c)(2)(ii), FAR 16.505(b)(2)(ii)(B)(3)) Modification of an existing Task Order (H92222-11-D-0021-0006) to provide additional project and extend all services for 2 additional option years. Funds will be O&M appropriations from the appropriate fiscal year required by the period of performance.

3. Description of Supplies/Services: (FAR 8.405-6(c)(2)(iii), FAR

16.505(b)(2)(ii)(B)(2)) The purpose of this modification is to fund a NMEC DOMEX data exchange project critical to improving data management and system performance to the J-2 by reducing the quantity of duplicate data exchanged. In addition to this one-time project, the support services will be extended via the addition of 2 option years. This is a performance based service which falls under the Application Management Tower.

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 NMEC DOMEX project enhances the J-2 database management system by providing the capability to reduce duplicate data transfers thus freeing system resources and improving system operations. Utilizing the current support contractor who is most familiar with the system minimizes the disruption to operations and provides the quickest route to implementation.

The existing task order provides application and database management support to the J- 2 Systems office. J&A KS 13-003, which extended the ordering period of all IDIQ basic contracts under the SITEC Application Management Tower under authority of FAR 6.302-1 (a)(2)(iii) details the need to extend services for 2 option years.

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

7. Interested Sources:

No other potential sources indicated an interest in writing.

8. Other Facts Supporting the Justification: (FAR 8.405-6(c)(2)(vii), FAR 16.505(b)(2)(ii)(B)(6))

None.

9. Technical and Requirements Certification: (FAR 8.405-6(c)(2)(x), FAR

16.505(b)(2)(ii)(B)(9))
