About this file
This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for Other Than Full and Open Competition submitted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The acquisition concerns a contract modification for Professional Services to Support & Maintain Program Operational Efficiencies, valued at $65,732.60, extending an existing purchase order (75D30121C10756) awarded to VAAS Professionals, LLC (located at 325 Edgewood Avenue, SE, Atlanta, GA 30312). The modification is for a six-month bridge contract extension through an "Only One Responsible Source" exception under FAR 6.302-1, justified because VAAS Professionals is the sole contractor capable of providing uninterrupted continuation of critical professional support services essential to CDC's global IT program operational functions. The services include analytical support, findings and recommendations for program improvement, budget projection analysis, discrepancy identification, report preparation, Purchase Request package development using CDC's acquisition system, and status tracking. The original contract was awarded on April 20, 2021, with a base period through May 6, 2026, and this extension is intended to bridge services until a new competitive follow-on requirement begins November 7, 2026, avoiding service gaps and ensuring program financial stewardship. Pricing remains unchanged from the base contract period. The modification is not subject to competition due to timing constraints associated with the contract expiration and the critical nature of maintaining operational continuity during the transition to a new competitive award.

10.Additional Information to support the justification:
If applicable, explain why technical packages or specifications to facilitate competition were not developed or available;
describe actions taken to remedy the situation.
11. Technical / Requirements Certification: By my signature below, I certify that the supporting data included in this J&A is accurate and complete.
12. Fair and Reasonable Price/Cost Determination: As Contracting Officer, by my signature below, I hereby determine that the anticipated price/cost to the Government for this contract action will be fair and reasonable.
Provide the basis for this determination, e.g., describe techniques to be used to determine fair and reasonable price (FAR Subpart 15.402), such as price analysis, cost analysis, cost realism. Per FAR Subpart 15.403-4(a)(1), the threshold for obtaining cost or pricing data is $750,000.
13. Contracting Officer's Approval (Required for proposed contract not to exceed $700,000 (value calculated including all options)): I hereby certify that this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge. I approve this justification subject to availability of funds, and provided that the services and supplies herein described have otherwise been authorized for acquisition.
A competitive follow-on requirement has been developed, but there has been a delay in its processing due the transfer of 'Common IT and Professional Services' contracts from CDC to OMAS in support of the implementation of HHS' Procurement Acquisition Consolidation Taskforce (PACT) initiative.
For the purposes of this 6 month extension, pricing will remain unchanged from the current period of performance that was evaluated and awarded as part of the base contract. Based on this, the price will be fair and reasonable.
