4. Authority Cited: (FAR 6.303-2(b)(4))

10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements, as implemented by FAR 6.302-1

5. Reason for Authority Cited: (FAR 6.303-2(b)(5)) The services provided under this contract are highly specialized, SOF-unique, and mission critical. The contractor must possess a Top Secret (TS) Facility Clearance and employees require TS-Secure Compartmented Information (SCI) security clearances. The requirement will transition to and be competed among our SOCOM-Wide Mission Support (SWMS) contracts as soon as they are available for use. Due to the brevity of this bridge contract and the pending transition to our competitive SWMS contracts, substantial duplication of cost to the Government is not expected to be recovered through competition of this short-term, bridge contract.

6. Efforts/Actions to Increase Competition: (FAR 6.303-2(b)(6)&(11)) This requirement was issued competitively under SOCOM's award Global Battlestaff and Program Support (GBPS) contracts. It is our intent to transition the follow-on contract to SOCOM's multiple award SOCOM-Wide Mission Support (SWMS)-C contract when it is available for use. SOCOM's SWMS acquisition began in 2014. Due to an extended acquisition timeline as a result of multiple protests, SWMS is not yet available for use. The contract supported by this J&A will bridge this mission critical support.

7. Market Research: (FAR 6.303-2(b)(8)).

Industry will be notified of our intent to support this requirement using Other Than Full and Open competition via a Special Notice posted to the Federal Business Opportunities website (www.fbo.gov ). Responses will be documented accordingly.

8. Other Authorities/Factors: (FAR 6.303-2(b)(9))

None
