This is a limited/sole source justification for contract opportunity LSJ121923 to provide grant support services to the Office of Head Start within the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families. The incumbent contractor is seeking a noncompetitive extension of their existing contract to continue providing operational and administrative services for the Office of Grants Management and School Readiness Division, including grant application intake, review, award, monitoring and reporting functions. The justification cites the incumbent's extensive experience with and thorough knowledge of the Office's grant programs as well as the potential disruption and costs that would result from transitioning to a new contractor. The period of performance for the noncompetitive extension is listed as one base year with four optional one-year periods of extension.
