Market Research & Competition
The CDC is currently in the process of procuring a long-term replacement contract via an 8(a) Alaska Native Corporation (ANC) direct award. While other firms, including Akima Protective Services and Metro East Joint Venture, expressed interest during the market research phase, the CDC determined that Chenega Global Protection, LLC is the only entity capable of providing immediate, uninterrupted services at the required level during this bridge period.
Additional Notes
This notice is a public posting of the justification for other than full and open competition in accordance with FAR 6.301. The agency is currently assessing the best approach for the follow-on contract due to potential regulatory ambiguities.
