NOSC_FOE_justification_Redacted to Post.pdf

This is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity document for a contract extension with CACI for the US Air Forces Central Command (AFCENT) Network Operations and Security Center (NOSC) Information Technology (IT) support requirement. The document requests approval for a 4-month base period (1 SEP 25 - 30 DEC 25) and three 1-month option periods, with a total contract value that is redacted.

The services include high-quality enterprise-level network and systems operations, management, engineering, integration, maintenance, technical support, cybersecurity, and IT services for AFCENT and its subordinate activities. Performance locations include Lackland AFB, TX and Shaw AFB, SC, with potential temporary deployments in Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Pakistan. The extension is being pursued to ensure continuity of critical mission support while awaiting a GAO decision on protests related to a previous competitive task order award, with the current incumbent contractor being the only viable option to maintain uninterrupted services.
