5. FAR 6.303-2(b)(5) – A demonstration that the proposed contractor’s unique qualifications or the nature of the acquisition requires use of the authority cited:

The rationale supporting the use of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) is appropriate only when “the property or services needed by the agency are available from only one responsible source and no other type of property or services will satisfy the needs of the agency,” as described below. is the current contractor providing all resources to perform logistics operation services at JSC, Ellington Field, and the Sonny Carter Training Facility. Their services consist of supply management, furniture operations, moving and hauling services, bicycle program and maintenance support, equipment management, redistribution and utilization, packing and shipping services, receiving and inspection services, vehicle fleet management, and special support services. ’s services provide continued support for mission and day-to-day essential operations. Recompeting and transitioning the work associated with the Logistics Contract to any other source at this juncture would hugely and negatively impact the current task order deliverables required and cause unacceptable schedule delays, notwithstanding that is still currently under contract for those same services. Conducting a new solicitation to acquire an additional contractor would create a redundancy in both services and costs. To avoid duplication of costs and unacceptable delays, the IDIQ value must be increased to avoid a disruption of service and to fund the requirements through the end of the contract period of performance on February 28, 2026.

6. FAR 6.303-2(b)(6) – A description of the efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as practicable, including whether a notice was or will be publicized as required by Subpart 5.2 and, if not, which exception under 5.202 applies:

A notice to the Government Point of Entry (GPE) website (Sam.gov) was published on December 20, 2024, in accordance with FAR Subpart 5.2. This posting informed potential sources of NASA’s intent to award this sole-source modification to for the current contract. The follow-on JSC Logistics Contract to this effort will be subject to full and open competition. The results of this synopsis are summarized in Section 10 below.

7. FAR 6.303-2(b)(7) – A determination by the contracting officer that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable:

The Contracting Officer’s signature on this document indicates that the Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. Prior to the commencement of Fiscal Year (FY) 25 Task Order extensions and FY26 Task Orders, will submit proposals for the estimated IDIQ costs and fees based on NASA JSC requirements using the established IDIQ rates in the contract. Those proposals will be evaluated for technical acceptability and cost reasonableness.

8. FAR 6.303-2(b)(8) – Description of the market research conducted, and the results, or a statement of the reasons market research was not conducted (e.g., urgent, and compelling requirement):

A non-competitive synopsis was issued on December 20, 2024, with a closing date of January 3, 2025, that serves as a market survey for the proposed contract value increase. As a result of this market survey, five companies submitted capability statements. None of the five submissions could provide all capabilities to perform the specific services needed to meet the JSC logistics operation service requirements posted in the synopsis. Please see Section 10 for further explanation of the Government analysis.
