About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for Informatics and Program/Project Support (IP/PS) services for the VA Acquisition Academy (VAAA), awarding a five-month contract extension to International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) valued at $1,344,100.67. The contract, running from March 30, 2025, through August 26, 2025, is a continuation of services previously held by B3 Group, which was novated to IBM following an acquisition. The justification for the sole source procurement stems from the critical need to prevent a service gap during the transition to a new competitive task order, with the extension ensuring continuous support of essential VAAA functions including project management, data management, and maintenance of the Single Source of Truth (SST) database. By leveraging FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B), the VA argues that only IBM can provide the specialized services required during this transition period, which is crucial for maintaining institutional knowledge and supporting strategic planning. The contract will support tracking performance metrics and providing data-driven insights, with the new competitive task order anticipated to be awarded in May 2025 under the VECTOR IDIQ contract vehicle.
