About this file
This is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (J&A) document for a follow-on task order under a multiple award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract.
The acquisition is for PSC Platform Operations and Maintenance services for the Program Support Center (PSC) under the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Assistant Secretary for Administration (ASA), with an FY26 acquisition year. The requirement is a follow-on order issued on a firm-fixed-price basis to provide comprehensive support for two FedRAMP-authorized low-code platforms—WorkSmarter and OneView—leveraging Agile and DevSecOps principles. Services include maintaining stable, secure platform operations; delivering continuous enhancements and bug fixes; expanding automation; maintaining security compliance and HHS digital accessibility standards; managing project, release, change, incident, and problem management; managing system environments including on-premises Oracle Database, SQL Server Database, MAHC/C-MAHC environments, and Appian/Salesforce Cloud instances; developing and testing solutions on Appian, Salesforce, and Blue Prism/Appian RPA platforms with integration capabilities; maintaining system security and patch management; and maintaining comprehensive documentation. The exception to fair opportunity is based on the logical follow-on rationale under RFO 16.507-6(b)(3), citing the incumbent's direct continuation of services, established technical knowledge of system customizations and integrations, period of performance, and operational efficiency benefits. The original order was solicited through NITAAC CIO SP3 e GOs to all eligible awardees with fair evaluation. The document includes certifications from the program manager and supervisor, contracting officer approval, legal review, OPDIV competition advocate approval, and small and disadvantaged business utilization review.
