Justification FAR Part 16 (JEFO) (JUNE ...9124J-25-F-A127_BHTI_ 10 April 2026__Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification Review Document under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 16 for an exception to fair opportunity. The document justifies issuing a sole-source task order valued at $316,053.60 for behavioral health specialist instructor and multimedia support services to support the Medical Center of Excellence (MEDCoE) at Joint Base San Antonio–Fort Sam Houston, Texas.

The requirement involves providing instructor and training support services for the Division of Behavioral Health Sciences within MEDCoE's Office of the Commandant. The task order (W9124J-25-F-A127) is issued as an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) logical follow-on under the existing Instructor/Multimedia Support Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC). The justification cites Title 10 U.S.C. §3406(c)(2) and FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(C), asserting that sole-source award is necessary for economy and efficiency as a logical continuation of performance already issued under the contract. The Government determined that conducting another annual recompete would create unacceptable operational risks, including potential loss of incumbent trained and security-cleared personnel, recruitment delays for specialized instructors, and jeopardy to MEDCoE's congressionally mandated mission to produce trained and ready medical personnel. The incumbent contractor, Falcona Management & Technical, LLC, currently holds the contract expiring September 28, 2025. Market research confirmed that only the incumbent possesses the fully trained, cleared, site-acclimated personnel necessary to maintain uninterrupted instruction without significant delays. The justification indicates the Government will develop a new Performance Work Statement for subsequent competitive action following this extension period.
