Quick Summary
This is a Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) issued by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), under the Department of Homeland Security, for Management and Governance Directorate (MGD) Financial Analytics, Governance, and Acquisition Support Services. The JEFO modifies Task Order 70B04C25F00001307 to extend services by up to six additional months, ensuring continuity while the agency prepares for future competition.
Purpose of Modification
The modification exercises the "Option to Extend Services" (FAR 52.217-8) for Task Order 70B04C25F00001307. This extends the period of performance by one three-month option period and three one-month option periods, totaling up to six additional months. The extension aims to provide uninterrupted services, allow sufficient time for recompeting the requirement, and facilitate a smooth transition to a successor contractor. The potential task order value will be increased as a result.
Justification & Rationale
The statutory authority cited for this exception is RFO 16.507-6(b)(2), which permits non-competitive action when "only one awardee is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly specialized." The current contractor, Deloitte Consulting, along with its small business subcontractor Gray Rock, possesses specialized knowledge and active background investigations critical for uninterrupted service delivery.
Future Competition Plans
CBP is actively taking steps to ensure future competition for these services. This includes revising acquisition plans and issuing a Request for Information (RFI) with a draft Statement of Work (SOW) on GSA OASIS+.
