JA_25-012_RECS_Extension_HQ079618C0001-155_20251030_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA). The document seeks to extend the existing Research and Development Enterprise Collaboration Services (RECS) contract with NMR Consulting to provide uninterrupted critical technical services, including global classified and unclassified video teleconferencing, collaboration services, customer-facing business application services, and end-user training.

The contract extension is necessitated by recent Executive Orders and guidance that have forced the cancellation of follow-on contracts, creating an urgent need to maintain mission-critical communication services. The proposed action will extend the current contract's performance period by 9 months (from October 31, 2025, to July 31, 2026), allowing the Missile Defense Agency to continue receiving essential services while developing a new acquisition strategy. The approach will be a small business set-aside competition, with market research indicating multiple interested small businesses capable of fulfilling the requirements.
