NNSA Information Assurance Response Center Information Technology Support Services

The Office of Information Management and Chief Information Officer (NA-IM) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) plans to contract for additional Information Technology Services to support the NNSA Information Assurance Response Center by using an exception to fair opportunity. The contracting activity is the NNSA Non-M&O Contracting Operations Division, Services Acquisition Branch, Headquarters Program Section (NA-APM-124.1).

This acquisition action is to modify OnPoint Consulting, Inc. Task Order GS-06F-0648Z/DE-DT0001389 to extend the period of performance for two months to include two one-month option periods. Task Order DE-DT0001389 was awarded to OnPoint Consulting, Inc. (OnPoint), 2107 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 510, Arlington, VA 22201, for NA-IM, on April 21, 2010, pursuant to a fair opportunity competition under the General Services Administration's (GSA) Alliant Small Business (ASB) Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC), which was open to all awardees under the ASB GWAC. Task Order DE-DT0001389 was awarded for a five year period of performance from April 21, 2010 - April 20, 2015 inclusive of one two-year base period, one one-year option period, and one two-year option period. The firm fixed price task order has a current ceiling price of $105,968,017.74.

On April 14, 2015, the task order was extended for six months to October 31, 2015. This six-month extension was required in order for the agency to resolve a protest that an unsuccessful vendor filed in response to the award of the IT Infrastructure and Cyber Security (IICS) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). The protest pushed back the timeline for the award of the follow-on Task Orders under the BPA. On October 29, 2015, DE-DT0001389 Modification 0058 extended the period of performance for an additional six months (inclusive of a one-month base period, one two-month option period, and three one-month option periods) to allow time to finalize the follow-on task order. This action extended the contract task order performance period from October 31, 2015 to April 30, 2016.

NNSA awarded the follow-on Task Order (DE-BP0004823) for cyber security support services on December 30, 2015, and awarded the follow-on Task Order (DE-BP0004824) for information technology support services on January 14, 2016. Subsequently, NNSA received a U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) protest related to the award of the follow-on task order for information technology support services.

Due to the award of the cyber security support services follow-on task order and the protest of the information technology support services follow-on task order, NNSA is descoping DE-DT0001389 to remove all cyber security support related tasks and extending only the information technology support tasks under DE-DT0001389 to allow time to resolve the protest. This action will extend the task order performance period by two months, from April 30, 2016 to June 30, 2016 (inclusive of two one-month option periods).
