About this opportunity

The Department of Defense Washington Headquarters Service issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for a 90-day contract extension with The Spectrum Group Members LLC for Training, Assistance and Assessment Support Services for the National Guard Youth Challenge Program (NGYCP) and DoD STARBASE Program. The contract, valued at $1,140,589.51, extends the current period of performance from March 27, 2025, to June 27, 2025, and is structured as a hybrid Firm-Fixed Price and Time and Materials contract. The government justified the sole source extension by arguing that transitioning to a new vendor would require a significant 3-month learning curve and potentially incur approximately $1.696 million in additional costs. The services include professional development, program review, strategic communications, and outreach for youth training and assessment programs. The agency plans to conduct a competitive source selection process for a long-term follow-on contract, with the intent to award by the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2025, and previously posted a Notice of Intent to Sole Source on SAM.gov from March 3-10, 2025, which received no industry feedback or challenges.
