3. FAR 6.303-2(b)(3) – A description of the supplies or services required, to meet the Agency’s needs (including the estimated value):

The contractor shall perform high quality administrative and technical support services to assist NASA-AFRC to fulfill its missions. These services include functions that support

Rev.:7/2022

Contractor shall be required to submit a proposal to be evaluated and negotiated by the Government. Prior to execution of the contractual instrument, a proposal analysis will be performed. The proposal analysis will ensure that the final agreed-to price for the contract action is fair and reasonable.

The task order will be priced using the labor rates based on the most current Service Contract Labor Standards Wage Determinations 2015-5603 Revision 18 (Kern County, dated June 27, 2022) and 2015-5613 Revision 21 (Los Angeles County, dated July 21, 2022). These attachments are currently incorporated into the contract; therefore, the monthly pricing is not expected to increase from the current option period and is expected to be found fair and reasonable after cost analysis.

8. FAR 6.303-2(b)(8) – Description of the market research conducted, and the results, or a statement of the reasons a market research was not conducted:

Market research was not conducted due to the release of the Draft Request for Proposal (DRFP) which was posted on April 8, 2022. There were over 10 responses to the DRFP, but it was determined to issue a new task order to Logical under contract 80AFRC22DA010 to avoid a lapse in service.

9. FAR 6.303-2(b)(9) – Any other facts supporting the use of other than full and open competition:

Although there is a possibility there may be other sources capable of providing these services at AFRC for the proposed extension, it is not in NASA’s best interest to award a competitive contract to bridge the performance period identified without substantial disruption in services and significant impact to the AFRC mission. Continuity of services is imperative in meeting the ongoing AFRC CATSS requirement to mitigate impact to the center’s daily operations. In addition, an award to any other source would result in a substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements.

10. FAR 6.303-2(b)(10) – A listing of the sources, if any, that expressed an interest in writing in the acquisition:

A notice of NASA’s intent to award this sole-source action was synopsized on the GPE website (Sam.gov) per FAR Subpart 5.2 (See Section 6 above). At this time, there have been no written expressions of interest in this acquisition.

11. FAR 6.303-2(b)(11) – A statement of actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services required:

The follow-on contract is currently in the pre-award phase, it is expected to have a new contract in place prior to the expiration of the task order.
