About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Headquarters District Washington has issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for a bridge action to extend the existing SAF/FMF Quality Assurance (QA) Program Support contract with Assent Advisory Group, LLC for 4 months from March 31, 2024 to July 31, 2024. This extension is necessary to ensure the continuation of QA Program Execution and Program Management Methodology (PMO) support across the Department of the Air Force while the government team competitively awards a follow-on contract. Assent Advisory Group, LLC, the incumbent contractor, is the only vendor capable of immediately satisfying the government's schedule and performance requirements without a gap in service. The value of this bridge action is $584,987.68.
Notice text
This bridge action supports a four-month extension of services to the SAF/FMF Quality Assurance (QA) Program Support commercial services contract, FA7014-21-C-0039. This extension is accomplished via contract modification to Assent Advisory Group, LLC for a 31 March 2024 - 31 July 2024 period of performance.
Assent Advisory Group, LLC is currently operating under a six-month option provided for by the contract's FAR Clause 52.217-8, Extension of Services (period of performance 27 September 2023 - 30 March 2024).
During acquisition planning for the follow-on QA Program Support effort, the Government team encountered unexpected delays due to significant organizational turnover and limited resources to address numerous competing priorities, along with requirement approval system functionality issues. Furthermore, the team's assessment of market research conducted originally indicated that a non-competitive approach under FAR 19.1406 would be most prudent for the follow-on contract. However, upon receiving counsel from the Air Force District of Washington (AFDW) Small Business Office on 4 March 2024, the team discovered a subtle oversight in regulatory analysis that necessitated shifting gears to pursue a competitive award.
In order to ensure fairness and promote competition to the maximum extent practicable while meeting mission requirements, the Government acquisition team now intends to competitively award a follow-on contract. Doing so, however, requires a four-month extension of the current contract to ensure mission continuation while allowing time to solicit, evaluate offer(s) and award the follow-on with adequate contract transition time.
Awarded contract FA7014-21-C-0039 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2024-03-26.
