SOES Limited Sources Justification - Redacted_Redacted.pdf

This Limited Sources Justification (LSJ) documents a 6-month task order extension for the Services Members Group Life Insurance, Online Enrollment System (SOES) for the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC). The extension will run from 21 September 2025 to 20 March 2026, with Peraton Enterprise Solutions LLC continuing to provide software upgrades, maintenance, and sustainment services. The primary objective is to support the SOES, an automated system that allows servicemembers to manage life insurance coverage online, including naming beneficiaries, changing coverage amounts, and generating reports.

The extension is justified by the need to bridge the gap between the current contract and an upcoming follow-on procurement (DVASP) for Defense Human Resources Data Services. Peraton is the sole contractor with the institutional knowledge and expertise to provide immediate support without disruption. The Government plans to competitively award a new task order within 90 days, with the 6-month extension allowing time to finalize requirements and transition services. The extension will be awarded under the DMDC ITPS Blanket Purchase Agreement, with Peraton being the incumbent contractor who previously acquired Perspecta and has accumulated approximately eight years of DMDC SOES process knowledge.
