Justification and Approval Amendment for FA489024F0045 Redacted.pdf

This Limited Sources Justification and Approval (J&A) document supports a 12-month bridge contract with Deloitte & Touche LLP for the Department of the Air Force (DAF) Zero Trust (ZT) Functional Management Office (FMO). The contract, valued under the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) GS-00F-029DA, will provide specialized services to support the Zero Trust strategy implementation, with a focus on maintaining continuity of operations and meeting congressional and Department of Defense mandated timelines.

The bridge contract, running from 01 May 2024 to 30 April 2025, is necessary due to manpower constraints and the need to ensure continuous support for critical Zero Trust transition activities. The Air Force currently lacks sufficient technical expertise to transition without this contractor, which represents 85% of the 18.5 manpower positions assigned to the DAF ZT FMO. The contract will be funded with FY24 Operations and Maintenance funds, with the intention of pursuing a competitive follow-on contract after this bridge period to remove barriers and support mission requirements.
