Cloud Hosted Enterprise Services (CHES) Services for Stack Security Sustainment & Virtualization (S4V)

This notice is being posted in accordance with FAR 5.301(a)(2)(ii) and FAR 16.505(b)(2)(ii)(D)(1). This notice is intended to make publicly available the justification used for Task order, FA8726-20-F-0081, that was awarded without providing a fair opportunity to all offerors on the Alliant 2 IDIQ. The need for the S4V requirement during the COVID-19 pandemic was so urgent that providing a fair opportunity to all vendors on Alliant 2 would result in unacceptable delays creating a significant impact to manpower and failure to sustain long-term remote operations. The order was placed for twelve (12) months and included FFP CLINs and a single T&M CLIN. More information on the CLIN descriptions can be found in the attached fair opportunity exception.
