Justification and Approval_Urgency_Devis HCA Approved_redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) from the U.S. Department of State's Office of the Procurement Executive. The document seeks approval to extend the current contract with Development Infrastructure, Inc. (doing business as Davis) for a limited timeframe of four 3-month option periods, totaling a maximum 12-month extension. The contract is for the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration's Refugee Processing Center (RPC), supporting critical humanitarian support services.

The extension is necessitated by a protest to the GAO of the follow-on contract, and will enable work continuity while awaiting the GAO's ruling. The contractor will continue providing essential services including IT infrastructure support, refugee case processing, system maintenance, cybersecurity, data analytics, and emergency response capabilities. The services are crucial for supporting refugees, migrants, stateless individuals, and internally displaced persons, with the contract valued at a maximum total cost that has been redacted in the document. The extension is being pursued under the authority of FAR 6.302-2 for unusual and compelling urgency.
