Quick Summary
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Office of Administration (ADM) has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole-source bridge contract. This contract is with OCT Consulting LLC to provide critical Contract Administration and Closeout Support Services in Rockville, MD. The bridge contract is necessary to prevent a break in services while the NRC conducts a competitive procurement for a replacement contract.
Purpose & Need
The NRC requires this six-month sole-source bridge contract to ensure the continuous provision of essential contract administration and closeout support. Delays, attributed to an unanticipated federal government shutdown and changes to FAR 8(a) competition requirements, have prevented the timely award of a new competitive contract.
Scope of Work
OCT Consulting LLC will continue to provide critical services, including:
- Post-award modifications
- Contract closeout actions
- Data validation and reconciliation
- Related administrative activities

Justification & Eligibility
This is a justification for a sole-source award under FAR 538.7104-3(b)(ii), indicating that only one source is capable of providing the required unique or highly specialized services. Market research identified small business vendors on the GSA Schedule, but procurement delays necessitated this bridge. This is not a solicitation for new bids and therefore has no set-aside designation or proposal submission requirements.

OCT Consulting LLC personnel currently hold active NRC clearances and possess familiarity with agency systems, which is crucial for uninterrupted service. This justification will be posted on SAM.gov. The primary contact for this notice is Ashlee Day at ashlee.day@nrc.gov.
