Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) Region 7 has issued a Special Notice in the form of a Class Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (ETFO). This ETFO supports the United States Air Force (USAF) Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) Air Force Lifecycle Management Center (AFLCMC) for Information Assurance/Mission Assurance and Life Cycle Management Program Integrated Data Environment (LCMP-IDE) services. The justification outlines the intent to award five distinct task orders on a sole-source basis to Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc. (BAH) due to their exclusive ownership of the proprietary LCMP-IDE system.
Purpose & Scope
This Class ETFO covers five task orders to be placed under GSA Alliant 2 and OASIS+ GWACs. These orders will procure Information Technology, Information Assurance, and Mission Assurance (IT/IA/MA) services, including security improvements for various USAF aircraft and weapon systems. BAH is identified as the sole source because the LCMP-IDE system, critical for mission success across multiple USAF divisions, is proprietary to BAH, who has been the sole vendor supporting it since 2001.
Contract Details
- Contract Type: Task Orders under GSA Alliant 2 and OASIS+ GWACs
- Award Type: Anticipated Time and Materials (T&M)
- Duration: Each task order includes a one-year base period, a single one-year option, and a six-month optional extension.
- Estimated Award Dates: January 2026 to April 2026
- Estimated Periods of Performance (PoP): Generally January 2026 to January 2028 (with extensions)
- Place of Performance: Oklahoma City, OK
Eligibility & Set-Aside
This is a sole-source acquisition to Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc. (BAH). The justification is based on the unique and specialized nature of the LCMP-IDE system, BAH's exclusive ownership, high replacement costs, proprietary environment, source code unavailability, and BAH's operational familiarity.
Important Notes
This document is a justification for an exception to fair opportunity and not a solicitation for proposals. Therefore, no proposal submission or evaluation criteria are detailed for bidders. The government is actively pursuing strategies to mitigate proprietary barriers and move towards a competitive environment for these services in the future. Security requirements include Top-Secret Clearance for 85% of vendor personnel and "Yankee White" clearance for at least 14 personnel for certain task orders.
