About this opportunity
The Department of Defense Washington Headquarters Service (WHS/AD) has issued a Special Notice regarding a short-term bridge contract extension for Spectrum Group Members LLC. The notice pertains to Training, Assistance and Assessment Support for the National Guard Youth Challenge Program (NGYCP) and Department of Defense STARBASE Program. The contract is currently held by Spectrum under Contract Number HQ0034-19-C-0178, with current services concluding on March 26, 2025. The bridge contract is intended to cover a 90-day period from March 27, 2025, through June 26, 2025. This extension is being pursued while the follow-on requirement remains in the acquisition planning phase, with an anticipated award date in May 2025.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to communicate the government's intent to extend the contract using sole source authority under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.5 and 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(A). The notice emphasizes that it is not a request for proposals, and any requests for solicitation copies will not be honored. The bridge contract is justified based on the need to continue highly specialized services without substantial cost duplication. Contractors should note that phone calls and meeting requests will not be accepted. The contract is specifically aimed at providing ongoing training, assistance, and assessment support for youth programs. Eligibility is limited to the incumbent contractor, Spectrum Group Members LLC, as the sole source provider. The notice indicates that the government views this extension as critical to maintaining continuity of services for the NGYCP and STARBASE Program during the transition to a new contract.
Notice text
This is not a request for quote/proposal but a synopsis notice. Pursuant to FAR 5.203(a) Washington Headquarters Services, Acquisition Directorate (WHS/AD), on behalf of OASD/M&RA(RI) intends to extend a short-term, sole source bridge contract to the incumbent Contractor Spectrum Group Members LLC (Spectrum) [Cage Code: 1S7X6 - 99 Canal Center Plaza, Suite 450, Alexandria, VA 22314-1559]. The Contractor is currently performing services under Contract Number HQ0034-19-C-0178 with services concluding on March 26, 2025. The anticipated period of performance for the bridge contract is for 90-days, from March 27, 2025, through June 26, 2025.
The anticipated award will be made under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation FAR 13.5, Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Products and Commercial Services and 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(A), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplier or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. For DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard, services may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of follow-on contracts for the continued provision of highly specialized services when it is likely that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition.
The contract is intended to meet OASD/R&RA(RI)’s requirement to provide Training, Assistance and Assessment Support for The National Guard Youth Challenge Program (NGYCP) and Department of Defense STARBASE Program. The follow-on requirement is currently in the acquisition planning phase with an anticipated award date of May 2025. (Ref. Notice ID# AJM20250303-001).
This notice of intent is not a request for proposals. Requests for copies of a solicitation in response to this notice will NOT be honored or acknowledged. Phone calls and requests for meetings will not be accepted.
