Quick Summary
The Defense Health Agency (DHA) has issued a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) for a Firm Fixed Price extension of Contracting Support Services (CSS) with the incumbent contractor, Amyx, Inc. This bridge action is necessary to prevent a lapse in critical services due to delays in the source selection process for the follow-on requirement.
Purpose & Context
This JEFO, authorized under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B), seeks to extend the current task order for CSS. The extension is required because the source selection for the follow-on requirement, known as CASS (Contracting Acquisition Support Services), has experienced significant delays. These delays are attributed to high proposal volume, personnel transitions, a government shutdown, and cascading impacts, pushing back the anticipated award date for CASS. The original CSS requirement was competed under the GSA OASIS contract.
Scope of Services
The extended services provide essential contracting support for the Head of the Contracting Activity (HCA), Deputy Assistant Director for Acquisition (DAD-A) (J-4), and the broader DHA. This includes comprehensive acquisition and contract management, program management support, and other related workload requirements associated with acquisition functions. The services are considered commercial.

Set-Aside & Eligibility
This JEFO is for an extension with the incumbent and does not represent a new competitive opportunity. Market research for the follow-on recompete (CASS), which was solicited on SAM.gov under HT001524R0010 with proposals received on September 19, 2024, indicated it was a 100% Small Business Set-Aside.
Response Information
This document is a justification for an exception to fair opportunity, not a solicitation for new proposals. Therefore, no submission or evaluation criteria are detailed. Interested parties should monitor SAM.gov for future opportunities related to DHA contracting support.
