Quick Summary
The Department of Defense, Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA)/DITCO Europe has published a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a Commercial Leaser service between Europe and Southwest Asia. This J&A supports extending the period of performance for critical communication services under an existing contract to ensure continuity during the transition to new technology.
Scope of Action
This action involves extending the period of performance for an existing Communication Service Authorization (CSA) from March 31, 2026, to December 31, 2026. The services are deemed critical and mission-essential. The incumbent contractor is considered uniquely qualified due to their continuous support since 2014 and the existing infrastructure already in place, which prevents service interruption. The extension provides necessary time for new contracts to be fully implemented and for services to migrate to new technological solutions.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a no-cost modification to an existing Communication Service Authorization (CSA).
- Duration: Extension of services from March 31, 2026, to December 31, 2026.
- Set-Aside: Sole Source (Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition).
- Published: April 1, 2026.
Evaluation & Submission
No solicitations will be posted to SAM.gov for this action, as it is a justification for a sole-source extension. A redacted copy of this Justification & Approval (J&A) will be posted on SAM.gov. A Notice of Intent is not required as the total estimated cost increase remains below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).
Additional Notes
The original and follow-on contracts under the same CSA were competitively awarded. The contracting activity is DISA/Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO) Europe - PS5 in Stuttgart, Germany.
