4) Authority and Supporting Rational Permitting Acquisition using Limited Sources

FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C)): In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) order. In December 2014, GSA Region 10/Professional Services and Human Capital Portfolio awarded GS-10F-0112X/ GSO140002 to ATSG competitively and was not previously issued under a sole source or through limited source procedures. The purpose of the task order was to obtain contract support services for the OASIS PMO to provide a full range of Acquisition Support Services; i.e. administrative, program, and general expertise.

The primary reason this non-competitive action is being issued at this time, is due to the uncertainty in the political climate, and a hiring freeze that is being enacted as a new Presidential Administration takes office

Task No.: ID GSO140002 Limited Source Justification

The current task order was issued under IMC Mission Oriented Business Integration Services (MOBIS) Schedule Contract. The MOBIS (874) schedule is no longer available as an individual Multiple Award Schedule program. All of the services covered under this schedule, and all of the existing contractors, are available under the new PSS.

GSA is continuing to conduct market research in support of a competitive acquisition for these services from the commercial market. In accordance with FAR 8.405-6(a)(2)(i) this LSJ will be posted on Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) for a minimum of 30 days. This will provide additional information to ensure GSA has sufficient information from industry to finalize the ongoing market research and prepare a successful acquisition strategy.

7) Other Facts Supporting the Justification

The Contracting Officer has determined that the temporary extension of the task order represents the best business decision and value to the government, and will serve to continue the much needed services under the current task order, with the current contractor who has the staff in place and the program knowledge to continue supporting the OASIS Program without interruption. The execution of the task order under the authority cited in this LSJ is in the best interest of the Government given the current political climate, and the needs of the Government at this time.

8) Statement of Actions to Overcome Barriers of Competition

It is the Government’s intent to allow for competition on all requirements. GSA will continue market research supporting a competitive award. GSA will publicly post this justification document in accordance with FAR 8.405-6(a)(2)(i). A combination of the efforts discussed in this LSJ section will assist in overcoming barriers to competition going forward.
