REDACTED_Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition.pdf

This justification document supports a sole source award for the FCC's Regulatory Fees Follow-on Contract. The current contract is set to expire in January 2023 and provides regulatory fee collection and processing services that are mission critical. No other vendors can meet the FCC's requirements to assume responsibility for current operations with the existing system and databases on such short notice. Transitioning to a new contractor would also put upcoming fee collection deadlines and operations at risk. The follow-on contract will continue current services for 5 years and include optional extensions to ensure ongoing operations.
