JUSTIFICATION FOR LIMITED SOURCE JUSTIFICATION (LSJ)

UNDER FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION SUBPART 8.4

1. AGENCY AND CONTRACTING ACTIVITY: The Department of War, Washington Headquarters Services, Acquisition Directorate (WHS/AD), Enterprise Research & Engineer Directorate (ERED), Technical Analysis Branch (TAB) on behalf of the Office of Secretary of War for Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (OSW CAPE).

2. DESCRIPTION OF ACTION: The OSW CAPE has a continuing need for Joint Data Support Services Analysis and Future Force Planning. These services are currently supported under Contract HQ0034-20-F-0072, which was awarded to Tyto Government Solutions, Inc.

The current contract was previously extended for 5 months on August 29, 2025, and expires on January 28, 2026. The Government intends to extend the current contract Period of Performance (PoP) for continuity of services while the Government works to issue a long-term contract for this follow-on effort. This extension is required to continue services while the Government completes its source selection process. The bridge extension will be awarded to the incumbent, Tyto Government Solutions, Inc. as a hybrid contract, with Firm-Fixed Price (FFP), Firm -Fixed Price Level of Effort (FFP-LOE) and Time and Material (T&M) Contract Line-Item Number (CLINs), with a total value of $1,543,730.40 using Fiscal Year 26 Operation and Maintenance Funds. The POP will be extended from January 29, 2026, through July 28, 2026.

3. DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES/SERVICES: The OSW CAPE has a requirement to provide data development, analysis, and information technology support to implement Joint Data Support (JDS) activities associated with the DoW’s Analytical Support Services to Future Force Planning. JDS provides data development and analysis support to DoW’s studies and analysis in the following functional areas: Air and Space; Ground; Maritime;

Logistics; Command & Control (C2) Communications & Computer systems (C4); and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR). This work shall be accomplished by managing and participating in Department-level studies, warfighting, and analysis and by developing and managing data of U.S. and Non-U.S. equipment, unit, force structure, capability, and deployment data (including planning, programming, and acquisition data).

The work includes developing or assisting the development of data for order of battle, operations, infrastructure, logistics, communications, intelligence, and concept of operations

(CONOPS).

Bridge Summary Performance Period Dates Amount FY 2026 29 January 2026 – 28 July 2026 $1,543,730.40

4. CIRCUMSTANCES JUSTIFYING LIMITED SOURCES: This action is under the procedures of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C), in the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order provided that the original order was placed under the Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original order or BPA must not have been previously issued under sole source or limited sources procedures.”

Failure to extend these services and losing the support and expertise of the JDS Collections contract will disrupt our organization’s mission to provide timely and robust decision support to Senior DoD leaders and the analysts that serve them. If support is interrupted or delayed, analysts across the Department will lose access to data, resources, and expertise that senior leaders base their decisions. Analysts on this contract have been supporting the DSD’s Defense Comprehensive Review, and the robustness of analysis fueling the effort could suffer with an interruption to service.

Extending the JDS Analysis contract for six months will allow us to continue receiving essential services supporting DoW analysis while ensuring a seamless transition to the new IDIQ contract once it is fully executed. Failure to extend support would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government. The substantial duplication of cost is estimated at $404,783.53 which is not expected to be recovered through competition. The estimated $404,783.53 cost of this extension includes approximately 2,912 additional labor hours, awarding services to a contractor other than Tyto would involve multiple transitions between potential contract holders (incumbent contractor, temporary contractor, and new contract awardees) which involves the Government paying multiple contractors for transition of different contracts for continuous support.

The Government would incur significant onboarding, training, and knowledge transfer costs to reach the current incumbent's level of expertise. We estimate the following cost breakdown for duplication of effort:

• Onboarding and Training: $57,826.22 based on onboarding costs which consists of onboarding with security, updating credentials on Common Access Card (CAC), Pentagon Access, and network accounts being processed.
