The order must be issued on a sole source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency; because it is a logical follow-on to an order issued under the contract, provided that all awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original order. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements at this time ensuring uninterrupted service by Leidos Inc., 1710 SAIC Dr, McLean, VA 22102-3701.

The contract provides software engineering support and support to peripheral devices/platforms to support the current Joint Personnel Identification (JPI) Quick Reaction Capability (QRC) Systems under PMO DoD Biometrics.
