4. Authority and supporting rationale including, if applicable, demonstration of the proposed contractor’s unique qualifications to provide the required supply or service.

FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(A): An urgent and compelling need exists and following the ordering procedures would result in unacceptable delays.

The services that will be obtained through the proposed bridge support are considered mission critical operations for which continuity is essential. As described in Section 3, above, this contract provides mission critical services that are vital in developing the annual WCF Budget. The WCF, which provides approximately $2 billion in annual services, is a complex financial entity and the accurate formulation of the WCF is critical to the ongoing operation of the fund. The Phoenix system is key to that as it aggregates all budget formulation data, comprising approximately 300,000 data elements, and calculates projected customer bills, which supports the customer engagement and governance process. In the end, the Contractor uses the data stored and calculated through the system the provide a data upload file for the Unified Financial Management System (UFMS). That output file contains over 150,000 datapoints.

Specifically, without ongoing support Budget Staff would be unable to:

• Establish the necessary databases for the FY 2026 WCF formulation process.

• Adjust existing dashboards to present the FY 2026 data.

• Implement and run data integrity error checking to identify data errors.

• Provide sufficient and clear information to the WCF Governance Board overseeing the WCF.
