Evaluation
GSA's intent to sole source is based on FAR 6.302-1, citing "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." TCMA has performed these services since 1995, possessing extensive knowledge and expertise. However, GSA will consider any bids, proposals, quotations, or capability statements submitted by the deadline.
Additional Notes
This interim bridge contract is necessary because the current ITCM contract expires on June 7, 2026, and the procurement for a new long-term competitive contract will not be finalized by then. This period will allow for the formulation of a new strategic plan, solicitation, award, and transition for the long-term solution.
