Quick Summary
The Department of the Army has posted a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) for the Enterprise Cloud Analytics & Processing (eCAP) requirement. This document justifies a non-competitive, sole-source follow-on task order awarded to Data Services Analysts (DSA) Inc. under the Responsive Strategic Sourcing for Services (RS3) Multiple Award Task Order Contract. The estimated value of this Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) contract is $185.3 million over five years.
Purpose & Scope
The eCAP program is critical for supporting the Army's Digital Transformation initiatives, including cloud modernization. It aims to upgrade legacy systems, enhance capabilities, and modernize infrastructure to enable rapid, data-driven application development and informed decisions. The scope of work includes:
- Continued support for eCAP, focusing on cloud modernization, data analytics, and AI/ML.
- Rapidly increasing key capabilities production and integration for HQDA Military Intelligence (G-2).
- Accelerating implementation for the Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) C5ISR Centers.

Contract Details
- Awarded Contractor: Data Services Analysts (DSA) Inc.
- Contract Type: Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF)
- Period of Performance: Five years (base and four one-year options)
- Estimated Value: $185.3 million
- Funding: Incrementally funded using FY RDTE, O&M, and Procurement funds.
- Contract Vehicle: RS3 Multiple Award Task Order Contract.
Justification & Set-Aside
This is a sole-source award and not a solicitation requiring proposal submissions. The justification cites authority under Title 10 U.S.C. §3406(c)(5) and FAR 6.302-5 (Authorized or required by statute), specifically Section 874 of the FY2022 NDAA. This section is part of a pilot program designed to incentivize contracting with wholly employee-owned businesses. DSA is an S-corporation with 100% employee stock ownership and holds a satisfactory CPARS rating.
Rationale for Sole-Source
The government determined that awarding this task order to a different vendor would cause significant schedule delays, risks to deployed capabilities, impacts to quality control, and increased portfolio costs. Market research, including a notice of intent posted to SAM.gov, indicated that while one offeror requested information, no capability statement was submitted.
