Quick Summary
The Department of Defense, Defense Human Resources Activity (DHRA) has posted a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for Entity Risk Management Internal Control Support Services. This J&A supports a two-month sole-source extension to an existing 8(a) contract with GenTech Associates to prevent service disruption and allow time for the development of a follow-on contract. This is a Special Notice and not a solicitation for new proposals.
Purpose & Scope
The purpose of this J&A is to justify the continued procurement of critical support services for DHRA's Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program. The required services include:
- Drafting and updating DHRA risk and compliance publications.
- Coordinating working groups for publication maturation and workforce training.
- Providing expert risk management advice.
- Identifying and recommending solutions for financial and operational weaknesses.
- Assisting with the development and implementation of corrective action plans.
- Supporting efforts to improve asset accountability.
Contract Details
This action extends an existing 8(a) contract, originally awarded to GenTech Associates, for an additional two months. This follows a previous four-month extension. The original contract period of performance is set to end on March 24, 2026. The extension is necessary to maintain continuity of essential ERM services while market research for a follow-on competitive procurement is finalized. Pricing for this extension will be based on the current contract's fair and reasonable rates.
Set-Aside & Justification
The original contract was procured under the 8(a) program. This sole-source extension is justified under "Only One Responsible Source" and "Authorized or Required by Statute" to avoid unacceptable delays and ensure uninterrupted critical support.
