IV. SOLE SOURCE AUTHORITY

Pursuant to the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO), Subpart 8.401(b), when placing an order under the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS), agencies must follow the ordering procedures established by GSA under subpart 538.71. The authority permitting this sole source justification is General Services Acquisition Manual (GSAM)1 538.7104-3(b)(1)(iii), which states, “The order should be issued on a sole source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency because it is a logical follow-on to an FSS order already issued on a competitive basis.”

The original requirement was competed among the TEPS II BPA holders and was awarded to ITP. The work that will be performed under this extension is a logical follow-on to the FSS order already in place because it is a continuation of the same services provided under Order 89233119FNA400264. ITP will continue to deliver logistics, personal property management, munitions, armory/firearms management, vehicle fleet, equipment operators, logistics planning, and administrative support at TRACOM and at the satellite training sites. ITP already has staff with the appropriate clearance levels and qualifications in place to continue to support the requirements. Having the current contractor continue to perform the requirement in the short term is in the interest of

1 Effective October 9, 2025, NNSA issued Policy Flash 2026-02, a Class Deviation, to adopt the RFO’s Model Deviation text for Part 8. RFO Part 8.4 directs agencies to follow GSA ordering procedures at subpart 538.71 when placing Federal Supply Schedule orders. As such any reference to Subpart 538.71 (GSAM) herein refers to the deviated text which can be found at https://www.acquisition.gov/fss-ordering-procedures. NNSA’s Class Deviation can be found at https://www.energy.gov/management/pf-2026-02-class-deviation-adopt-revolutionary-far-overhaul-rfo-part-8-required-sources.

Innovative Technology Partnership LLC 89233119FNA400264 P a g e | 4 economy and efficiency because utilizing a new contractor for these immediate needs would require substantial time and cost for recruitment, security clearances as applicable, extensive training on NNSA-specific procedures, and establishment of critical relationships, which could lead to unacceptable mission disruptions.

V. CONTRACTING OFFICER’S DETERMINATION OF BEST VALUE

A fair and reasonable price determination is not required for FSS products, services, or solutions at the order level or BPA level as FSS contracting pricing has been determined fair and reasonable. The Contracting Officer (CO) has determined after considering the level of effort and mix of skills needed to execute the OST Logistics Support Services requirements, and the discounts applied to published GSA Schedule prices, that the proposed Task Order extension represents the best value for OST consistent with GSAM 538.7102-2(d)(2). The CO also determined that the estimated prices of the Task Order extension is in line with the current contract prices which were competitively awarded.

VI. MARKET RESEARCH

Market research was not conducted for this action because the Government intends to issue a request for information (RFI) for the revised scope which may result in a change to the current NAICS Code 541611 – Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services. For this short-term requirement, no other vendor would be able to immediately meet the agency’s needs without potential schedule and performance risks.

For the follow-on longer term effort, the Government has full intent to compete the revised requirement amongst capable small businesses to foster and support small business opportunities.

VII. OTHER FACTS

None

VIII. STEPS TO FOSTER COMPETITION

As discussed under paragraph VI, Acquisition Planning for the follow-on effort is ongoing. Prior to the completion of the logical follow-on services, NNSA intends to competitively solicit and award a longer-term contract for the required logistics services.
