Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA), on behalf of the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC), has issued a Sole Source Justification for an extension to BPA Call Order 22: Entitlements and Benefits Maintenance and Modernization Services. This action extends the current contract with Peraton Enterprise Solutions LLC to ensure continuity of essential services while a new, comprehensive order (BASIS) is competed under the DEHRADS Multi-Award BPA.
Scope of Work
This justification covers the continuation of critical IT services for DMDC's Entitlements and Benefits (EnB) systems. The contractor will support the full range of software development lifecycle services, including development, modernization, and enhancement across EnB programs. Key responsibilities include ensuring uninterrupted service of existing applications, integrating other systems, and supporting applications like the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) components, DIRP, EHRM, and SV&V/QA task orders. The goal is to maintain compatibility and integration with current software and hardware within DMDC and ensure full functionality for external users.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Sole Source Justification for a modification to an existing Combination Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and Labor Hour (LH) contract.
- Original Award: June 11, 2021, for $130,978,150.04.
- Extension Duration: Maximum of six months, structured as a three-month base period (June 11, 2026 - September 10, 2026) followed by a two-month option period and a one-month option period, potentially extending support through December 10, 2026.
- Product/Service Code: DA01 (Support Services For Activities Involved With Application Development And Support).
- Place of Performance: Seaside, CA.
Evaluation
This document is a sole source justification and not a solicitation for proposals. The justification outlines that a competitive procurement for a bridge contract would be time-consuming and costly, leading to inefficiencies. The new BASIS requirement will be competed under the DEHRADS BPA.
Additional Notes
Delays in the BASIS package finalization, including a government shutdown and realignment of priorities, necessitated this extension. The extension aims to prevent a lapse in mission-critical support services for DMDC applications. The justification cites GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(ii) for sole source justification due to unique or highly specialized services.
