b. Project background.

Under the previous BPA that was awarded to Mackson Consulting LLC, there was an O&M Task Order with a POP ending on 11/26/2023. A limited sole-source award was issued to Mackson to continue O&M work while the new JAADE2 BPA was going through the procurement cycle. The O&M Task Order was ultimately extended until 11/26/2024. The current TO contract award is HHSF223201810004B/75F40123F19018. The previous BPA award was competed to all Small Business.

The current LSJ requested is for a logical follow-on Task Order for O&M. This Task Order will include one

(1) 3-month base, two (2) 3-month option periods and one 1-month option period. This will allow the continuity of operations while the BPA acquisition is undergoing voluntary corrective action. It will also allow for a 60-day transition with the current vendor. The total award would be less than dollars.

b. Project Description.

Along with serving as a bridge between the FY24 O&M Task Order and the new BPA award, the FDA JAADE2 Environment requires support services for the 30+ applications and databases which are known as AdminApps. To support the FDA missions managed through the applications residing in the AdminApps Environment, the AdminApps team works closely with the business owners and the Contractor support team to ensure the applications continue to perform efficiently, user service requests are handled in a timely manner, security policies are adhered to, and assessments are continually made to identify areas where upgraded technologies or processes may enhance the user experience.

(B) Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized;

(C) In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order provided that the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original order or BPA must not have been previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures.

There is O&M work under the current TO which needs to be completed.

No other vendor has specialized knowledge of the JAADE2 environment and 30+ applications that make up the AdminApps program. The current vendor is required to provide O&M support
