Summary

This is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (Above SAT) document issued by the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Financial Management & Comptroller) through NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk. The document justifies awarding a modification to Task Order N0018926FB016 as a sole-source contract to Guidehouse Inc. under the Financial Improvement Program (FIP) IV IDIQ MAC (contract N0018922DZ018). The modification represents a placement of a new Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) CLIN on an existing order without conducting a fair opportunity competition.

The proposed six-month modification, effective June 20, 2026, provides strategic design, performance management, and governance support services for the Navy's ERP+ (Enterprise Resource Planning) transformation initiative. Specific deliverables include: developing a future-state operating model and roadmap to consolidate ERP support structures and capture cost savings; implementing ERP+ governance and performance management through structured benchmarking; and providing senior advisory support for FM&C leadership on ERP supply chain and transformation topics. The justification asserts that Guidehouse is the sole capable source due to its unique institutional knowledge from executing the current task order and the time-sensitive nature of Department of Navy deadlines to achieve a clean audit opinion by FY28 and execute a critical technical upgrade to the Navy's core financial system. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable. The Navy intends to reassess requirements after passing audit by 2028 to open future efforts to competition.
