Quick Summary
This document is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity to extend the existing Cyberspace Operations Support Services (COSS) Task Order (TO) 47QFMA23F0019 for United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM). The extension is necessary to prevent a lapse in critical cyberspace operations services and allow the Government time to award a follow-on competitive TO (COSS 3.0).
Scope of Change
The extension is for a total potential duration of 12 months, structured as one 6-month period (February 1, 2026 - July 31, 2026) and two subsequent 3-month option periods (August 1, 2026 - October 31, 2026, and November 1, 2026 - January 31, 2027). The contract type for this extension is Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF). The justification is based on FAR 16.507-6(b)(2), citing that only Peraton Technology Services, Inc. is currently capable of providing the unique and highly specialized services required without a break in service. The delay in the COSS 3.0 recompete award is due to recent revisions in the cyber force generation model and cost estimates.

Additional Notes
This document does not solicit new proposals but rather extends the current contract to bridge the gap until the competitive COSS 3.0 recompete is awarded. The COSS 3.0 recompete is currently in the pre-solicitation phase, with Requests for Information (RFIs) having been posted to gather industry feedback. The services encompass seven core disciplines: Cyberspace Operations, Planning, Training and Exercises, Strategy/Policy/Doctrine Development, IT and Communications, Business Area Support, and Engagement Activities, all critical for securing, operating, and defending the DoD Information Network (DODIN).
