Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA) has published a Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) for a bilateral extension of the Personnel and Readiness Infrastructure Support Management (PRISM), Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) task order. This extension, valued at $54,360,050.99, is for Booz Allen Hamilton and covers the period from February 15, 2026, through February 14, 2027. The extension was executed under FAR 16.505(b)(1) due to Urgent and Compelling Circumstances.
Purpose of JEFO
This notice provides the rationale for limiting fair opportunity for a second one-year extension of the existing task order (47QFHA24D0005-47QFHA25F0004) held by Booz Allen Hamilton. The extension is critical to ensure uninterrupted data analytics and AI support for the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (OUSD(P&R)) and its partners, preventing severe operational impacts.
Contract Details
- Task Order Title: Personnel and Readiness Infrastructure Support Management (PRISM), Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Contractor: Booz Allen Hamilton (UEI: JCBMLGPE6Z71)
- Total Task Order Value: $54,360,050.99
- Extension Period: February 15, 2026, through February 14, 2027
- Agency: Department of Defense, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (OUSD(P&R))
- Authority: FAR 16.505(b)(1) – Urgent and Compelling Circumstances
- Product Service Code: R499 (Other Professional Services)
Rationale for Exception
The delay in conducting a competitive re-procurement for the DA2I task order is attributed to several factors:
- New Commerciality Determination Requirements: Recent regulatory changes necessitate a formal commerciality determination not required for the original procurement.
- Organizational Changes: Restructuring within OUSD(P&R) and the addition of OUSD(Comptroller) as a new tenant altered requirements.
- Government Shutdown: A federal government shutdown impacted coordination and review timelines.
- Advana Transformation: Significant restructuring of the Advana platform requires additional time to define requirements for the follow-on contract.
Future Plans
The Government anticipates conducting a competitive action among PRISM MATOC contract holders for the follow-on requirement. Market research has been conducted, and steps are being taken to prepare for a competitive solicitation in Q4 FY26 or Q1 FY27, aiming to maximize competition and commercial participation.
