About this opportunity
The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for a 6-month extension of an Intelligence Technical Services (ITS) contract with IronEagleX Inc (IEX), valued at $2,600,000 in Operations and Maintenance funding for FY25/FY26. The extension will continue support for the Intelligence Data Science Team (IDST), maintaining 21 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees providing data science and technical support for USSOCOM's J2 intelligence operations. Originally awarded on 19 September 2023, the contract experienced a protest that delayed performance, necessitating this bridge extension to allow USSOCOM time to conduct a comprehensive recompetition. The justification emphasizes that awarding the extension to another vendor would result in significant cost duplication, learning curve challenges, and mission support disruption. The extension will enable USSOCOM to prepare for a future solicitation using a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) approach with Other Transaction Authority (OTA), potentially awarding 1-5 prototype projects with the goal of selecting a follow-on production effort.
Notice text
This Justification and Approval (J&A) approves the issuance of a 6-month extension to the Intelligence Technical Support (ITS) order H92415-23-F-0190 based on other than full and open competition to IronEagleX Inc (IEX), Cage Code 7U0Z1. The order type will remain Firm Fixed Price (FFP). PM- Intel requires continued support from the FTEs that currently support the Intelligence Data Science Team (IDST). The current effort was awarded on 19 September 2023 by SOF AT&L KD with a Period of Performance (PoP) end date of 29 September 2024. The award was protested and ultimately resulted in a performance start date of 16 November 2023. The PoP end date was adjusted to 15 November 2024 as a result of the protest. The 52.217-8 extension was exercised by SOF AT&L on 29 October 2024 and extended the PoP end date to the current end date of 15 May 2025. Extending this effort 6 months will allow for a competition to be conducted to address PM Intel’s revised, comprehensive data science and technical support requirements. The total estimated value of this extension is $2,600,000 in Operations and Maintenance FY25/FY26 O&M funding. This estimate was based on the historical pricing of the current ITS effort.
Awarded contract 47QTCA20000DM to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2025-05-15.
