3. DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES/SERVICES: The task order bridge is for the following supplies and services:

The DISA J6 C4 actively supports the Joint Staff (JS) in day-to-day operation of their Information Technology enterprise located in Hampton Roads, Virginia to enable support to Combatant Commands and Warfighters across the globe. NetAM support services include network operations and asset management, systems integration/network engineering, and cable plant services to approximately 2,000 users. These services provide the engineering baseline, planning, modernization, design, development, integration, and testing of incremental changes or network modernizations to the DISA CORE Communications Network. The estimated price of this task order bridge is .

4. IDENTIFICATION OF EXCEPTION TO FAIR OPPORTUNITY: The services identified in this J&A have currently been solicited and awarded under HC102826F0004. However, a post-award protest was received, and a stop-work order has been issued. The anticipated resolution of the protest is expected in Quarter 2, FY26. This necessitates the award of a bridge modification to the incumbent, All Points Logistics, LLC, for the NetAM support services. All Points Logistics, LLC is the only vendor capable of providing all the required services in the current DISA environment at the acceptable service levels without degrading economy and efficiency.

(a) Exception to Fair Opportunity. The following exceptions apply to exception to fair opportunity accomplished IAW FAR 16.505(b)(2).

FAR 16.505(b)(2)(c): The order must be issued on a sole-source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency because it is 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.

(b) Justification.

(1) Proposed sole source contractor. Due to the bid protest filed by GCyber, All Points Logistics, LLC is the only source that can fulfill this requirement without risk of a substantial break in service to the DISA J6 C4E JPH and the JS. A sole-source action is necessary to provide the time needed to complete the award of the follow-on action.

5. COST/PRICE FAIR AND REASONABLE DETERMINATION: During source selection of solicitation number 832470795, a cost/price evaluation was conducted in accordance with FAR

15.404. The contract prices were determined to be reasonable. The proposed cost/prices for the extension will be compared to the current contract prices, as well as the Independent Government Cost Estimate, current order pricing, and the proposed prices for the follow-on effort in order to determine fair and reasonableness.
