1. Contracting Activity: Army Contracting Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC- APG), Edgewood Contracting Division (ECD), 8456 Brigade Street, E4215, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, 21010-5401.

2. Description of Action: The Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND) requires a new, noncompetitive, follow-on modification to extend the period of performance by six (6) months from 13 January 2023 – 11 July 2023 for the Environmental Analysis Project (EAP) Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) currently performed under Contract Number W911SR-16-D- 0012, Task Order (TO) W911SR-21-F-0006, by Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII). This follow-on action will allow the Government to keep critical support services in place while allowing adequate time for the execution of a competitive follow-on award under the multiple award indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (MA IDIQ) Joint Enterprise Contracted Logistics and Services Support (JE CLaSS) II vehicle following award of base contracts anticipated for November 2022.The Independent Government estimate (IGE) for this action is $5,996,680, and the Government intends to utilize FY23 Operation and Maintenance (O&M) funds.

3. Description of Services: This task order provides operations and maintenance support, and logistics support to the EAP program. These services include Command and Control (C2) operations; system maintenance, repair, and replacement; environmental aerosol sample retrieval; environmental aerosol sample analysis, and reporting in support of the following locations:

CUI

The original task order request (TOR)/solicitation was competed amongst the seven (7) unrestricted large business holders of the JE-CLaSS MA IDIQ. Four (4) contractors responded to the task order request (see table 1 below).

a. Effective competition. The below list of contractors expressed interest in the requirement based on their submission of a proposal for the original EAP Task Order solicitation. However, effective competition for this extension is not expected without incurring a break in service. The Government anticipates that effective competition will be achieved for future needs by soliciting further work through a Task Order utilizing fair opportunity under the JE-CLaSS II IDIQ.

b. Subcontracting competition. As a large business, HII will be required to abide by the terms in its Small Business Subcontracting Plan, which will be incorporated into the Task Order and will continue to apply for the extension period. Per the Subcontracting Plan, as well as FAR clauses 52.219-8 and 52.219-9, HII will strive to meet negotiated goals for subcontracting to small businesses (SBs), Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDBs), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), etc.

7. Actions to Increase Competition: The proposed non-competitive extension does not take any actions to increase competition. As discussed previously, the extension provides for the continuity of contractor-provided services until a follow-on award can be solicited and awarded. There is no opportunity to increase competition on the extension without causing a break in service; the incumbent contractor’s experience and deployed resources (both physical assets as well as personnel) are necessary for mission execution. Other alternatives to increase competition, such as the division and competition of individual PWS components, are not feasible because of the need to have an experienced, knowledgeable contractor managing all aspects of the EAP requirement.

Moving forward, the JE-CLaSS II MA IDIQ, similar to JE-CLaSS, will consist of two (2) Domains; Domain 1, will be open to Other Than Small Business (OTSB) and Small Businesses, and Domain 2, will be a full Small Business Set-Aside. JE-CLaSS II will establish a group of highly qualified large and small businesses capable of competing on future requirements as specified in individual TOs once the IDIQ contract is awarded, which is anticipated to be in November 2022. It is anticipated that future requirements for this support will be obtained using fair opportunity procedures under JE-CLaSS II.

CUI

The anticipated milestone schedule (notional) for the proposed follow-on TO award is as follows. This schedule is contingent on award of the base JE CLaSS II IDIQ, which is expected in November 2022. Note that the schedule below has some adjustments to accommodate holidays at the end of calendar year 2022.

• ARP Package Completion: 1 November 2022

• Peer Review Complete: 1 December 2022

• Post Final Solicitation: 30 December 2022

• Proposal Submissions: 7 February 2023

• Discussions Complete (if required): 14 April 2022

8. Market Research: The following techniques were used to conduct market research:

a. Request for Information (RFI): A RFI was published on SAM.gov on 24 October 2022 with a response date of 7 November 2022. The RFI included an outline description of the required scope of work, program objectives, metrics, applicable systems requiring support, period of performance, and performance locations.

Interested firms were invited to respond to the Government by providing a capability statement with the following information (response not to exceed five [5] pages):

• Company name, company address, overnight delivery address (if different from mailing address, Cage Code, point of contact, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number).

• Business size (i.e. large, small disadvantaged, veteran owned, woman owned, etc.)

• A description of the company’s expertise in providing Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) services, and sustainment for Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) equipment as required.

• A description, in general, of your company’s approach to meeting the required period and location of performance.

The items below were conducted as part of market research to examine alternative contracting solutions:

a. Queried Government databases [Federal Procurement Data System – Next

Generation (FPDS-NG), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), GSA, SAM.gov, and the Small Business Administration (SBA) databases] that provide relevant information on acquisitions.

CUI

1. GSA: A search of the GSA database, https://www.gsa.gov/buying-selling/products-services/professional-services/buy-services/oasis-and-oasis-small-business/buyers-guidance-and-resources was conducted on 8 September 2021, and re-verified on 22 December 2021 revealed the following:

OASIS Contracts: Searched “Logistics Services” -- Small and Large Business Pool of Contractor NAICS;

- NAICS Code 541614 –Contract is specific to logistics consulting services.

- NAICS Code 561210 addresses facilities support services (janitorial);

establishments engaged in providing management and operating services (hotel, restaurant, hospital); on site management and operations of computer systems and/or data processing facilities; Governmental correctional institutions

- NAICS Code 541330 addresses a vast array of engineering services, not related to the services required for JE-CLaSS

- NAICS Code 541890 addresses “Other Services Related to Advertising”

The NAICS code used under the OASIS contract for logistics services do not include NAICS code 811219 and are therefore not relevant to this requirement.

2. FPDS-NG: A search was conducted on 8 September 2021 and revisited on 22

December for “contractor logistics support” and “logistics and NAICS Code 811219” yielded 2046 contracts. Many of the contracts listed are purchase orders, delivery orders, and definitive contracts for specialized systems, equipment (i.e., medical, dental, electrical, navigational, and laboratory), ship and boat components, and instruments and supplies for the Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard (awarded to companies such as Patriot Range Technologies, LLC., Knapp Logistics Automation, Inc., Flagship Logistics, LLC., Systems Logistics Corp., Bowhead Logistics Solutions, Inc., Viking Rigging and Logistics, Inc., Global Logistics and Services, Goldbelt Falcon, LLC., Draeger Medical, Inc., Starkey Labs, Inc., Unitron Hearing, etc.). The majority of the contracts listed are inactive and the active contracts do not address the scope of services required for JE-CLaSS II.

3. The System for Award Management (SAM.gov): A search was conducted 28 January 2020 and revisited on 22 December 2021 for “logistics services, NAICS Code 811219” revealed 1,595 active pre-solicitation notices in reference to the 811219 NAIC, and one (1) active pre-solicitation when searching by “Contractor Logistic Support.”

9. Interested Sources: The RFI discussed in Paragraph 8 received no responses.

Approval

Based on the foregoing justification, I hereby approve the procurement of the Environmental Analysis Project (EAP) Operational Needs Statement (ONS) Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) on another than full and open competition basis pursuant to the authority of 10 U.S.C 3204(a)(1) as implemented by FAR Part 6.302-1 -- Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. For DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard, services may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of follow-on contracts for the continued provision of highly specialized services when it is likely that award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements.

The estimated value of this action is $5,996,680. This action is subject to availability of funds, and provided that the services and property herein described have otherwise been authorized for acquisition.
