Submission & Evaluation

This document is a sole source justification, not a solicitation. Therefore, evaluation criteria for proposals are not applicable. The Contracting Officer will determine the resultant price to be reasonable. The justification cites GSAM 538.7104–3(b)(1)(ii), indicating only one source is capable of providing these unique or highly specialized services.

Additional Notes

The justification is based on GCGI's unique position and specialized knowledge developed during pre-deployment activities under predecessor contracts. The Department of State plans to take steps to remove barriers to future competition, including transition planning, knowledge transfer, and market research for subsequent acquisitions.
