(b) Subcontracting Competition. There are no current subcontracting opportunities under this action. However, if applicable, the completion of subcontracting requirements will be addressed in the full and open award, which is anticipated to be awarded as a Small Business Set-Aside Open Market Award under SAM.Gov.

7. Actions to Increase Competition: Implementation of this Bridge will provide the Defense Health Agency – Armed Forces Medical Examiner Systems (DHA – AFMES) with the critical support required until the new competitive contract can be awarded in the 3rd Quarter of Fiscal Year 2024. The new contract will be a Small Business Set- Aside, Single-Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (SA – IDIQ) with an anticipated award date of 01 November 2024.

8. Market Research: Market Research was conducted within the past Twelve (12) Months as a routine course of action related to the preparation of the requirements package for the new competitive contract and in preparation of this bridge request to extend these services until the new IDIQ Contract can be awarded.

The recompete for the SA-IDIQ Contract has shown that there are interested Small Businesses capable of performing this work and meeting the Government’s requirement. The Market Research was conducted by contacting Contracting Officers, Contract Specialists, and Project Officers in other federal agencies and Private Industry, conducting market surveys to obtain information from potential sources, querying Government Databases, issuing formal requests for information and sources sought synopses in SAM.Gov, and by using internet tools and performing web searches.

None of the sources identified possess the knowledge, infrastructure, experience, or expertise readily available to provide the STALSS Support Services in the time period needed without significant delays, lead-time before full support is provided, duplication of efforts and substantial investments of time and resources by the Government. This extension will allow continuation of support services until a new contract can be awarded.

9. Interested Sources: In accordance with DFARS 206.302-1(d), and DFARS PGI 206.302-1(d), a Request For Information / Sources Sought Notice will be posted to the “Contract Opportunities” Section in SAM.Gov to solicit any interested parties. However, to date, no other sources have written to express an interest.

10. Other Facts:

As noted in #7 above, a new competitive re-compete is currently with USAMRAA and the anticipated award date is 01 November 2024.
