Fit reasons
- NAICS alignment with historical contract wins in similar service areas.
- Scope strongly matches core technical capabilities and delivery model.
Risks
- Past performance thresholds may require one additional teaming partner.
- Potential clarification needed on staffing minimums before bid/no-bid.
Next steps
Validate eligibility requirements, assign capture owner, and schedule partner outreach to confirm teaming strategy before submission planning.
Quick Summary
The National Aeronautics And Space Administration (NASA) Ames Research Center (ARC) has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for a sole-source modification to increase the contract ceiling for the Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) and Related Reporting Systems contract (Contract # 80ARC024DA001) with Booz Allen Hamilton. This action addresses the requirement for analyzing safety reports and broadly disseminating de-identified safety information concerning the operational performance of the National Airspace System.
Scope of Work
The contract involves analyzing safety reports and disseminating de-identified safety information related to current and potential deficiencies in the operational performance of the National Airspace System (NAS) under the ASRS and related reporting systems (e.g., C3RS). The modification is necessitated by a significant 32% increase in report intake for both ASRS and C3RS, requiring additional labor and IT resources.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Sole-source modification to an existing hybrid Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) and IDIQ contract.
- Incumbent: Booz Allen Hamilton.
- Duration: The existing contract period of performance is February 9, 2024, to April 8, 2029.
- Value: The current maximum value is $39,712,572.00, with this modification seeking an increase.
- Set-Aside: None (sole-source action).
- Published: February 24, 2026.
- Place of Performance: ARBOGA, CA.
Justification for Sole Source
The JOFOC outlines the rationale for not conducting a full and open competition:
- Unique Expertise: Booz Allen Hamilton possesses unique knowledge of the ASRS/C3RS reporting systems, data integrity procedures, and IT security enhancements, which are critical for continued operations.
- Duplication of Costs & Delays: Awarding to another source would likely result in substantial duplication of costs and unacceptable delays, as expert analysts require approximately six months of training.
- Market Research: NASA conducted market research, including a sources sought notice on SAM.gov, but received no responses from other potential offerors.
- Urgency: A competitive procurement would incur significant delays (approx. 120 days) and additional costs, failing to address the immediate need for processing increased report intake.
Future Outlook
NASA states it will continue to examine the market for alternative solutions for future acquisitions.
