About this opportunity
The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health published this Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity on December 3, 2025, for Modification P00002 to task order 75N98125F00001 under the NITAAC Contract HHSN316201200156W, which was awarded to Concept Plus LLC on September 30, 2025. The modification authorizes a sole-source task order to expand contractor support services for the U.S. Air Force's Comprehensive Engine Management System (CEMS) program, focusing on computer systems design and IT application development support services. The justification for bypassing fair opportunity procurement centers on Concept Plus's unique qualification and existing expertise in CEMS maintenance and development; the government asserts that introducing a new vendor would create unacceptable risks to mission-critical objectives and system integrity. The modification encompasses two primary initiatives: implementation of the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) Toolset for J85 engines to enhance operational readiness, and acceleration of Financial Information Audit Remediation (FIAR) Compliance efforts to meet Department of Air Force audit standards. The scope includes increased labor support, FIAR implementation services, and procurement of two software licenses (Checkmarx and iText), with performance periods ranging from 12 to 36 months beginning in September 2025. While the exact award value is not disclosed in the notice, the total contract value is noted to increase significantly from the original contract amount; specific dollar figures and labor quantities were redacted from the published justification document.
