CJDB Support Services Limited Sources Justification

Added: Oct 10, 2014 10:22 am The National Ground Intelligence Center (NGIC) Contracting Office, IANG-PEO-KO, Charlottesville, VA, awarded a sole source firm-fixed-price task order on 27 September 2014 to Data Solutions & Technology (DST), Inc. under General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule GS-35F-0587S for CJDB Support Services [Combat Incident Database (CIDB) and Joint Trauma Analysis for the Prevention of Injury in Combat Database (JTAPICDB)]. Specific tasks for the CJDB Support Services include Technical Project Management, Applications Operations and Maintenance, Application Enhancements, Requirements Management, and Information Assurance.

Pursuant to FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A), the agency's compelling need for CJDB Support Services was so urgent that following the procedures would result in unacceptable delays. The task order provided support to the CJDB applications without further distraction/disruption, additional and unnecessary costs, and the risks associated with competing a bridge contract. CJDB Support Services are specialized, complex, and extremely critical to the NGIC mission. DST, Inc. was the only source with the knowledge and expertise to quickly meet the unique requirements on a time sensitive basis. DST, Inc. already had the proper training, level of expertise, required clearances, and available personnel. Also, the award to DST Inc. will provide CJDB Support Services until current NGIC Production and S&TI Software Programs (NPSP) protests are resolved.
