Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, specifically FA2518 USSF SPOC/SAIO, has issued a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity for the Operations Capability Support (OPSCAP) TO5, Space Forces Readiness & Training Program Staff Support contract. This action modifies an existing task order (FA251822F0052) under the OPSCAP IDIQ (FA251821D0001) to incorporate FAR clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, and add Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) for previously un-evaluated requirements (3.1 and 3.2). The estimated cost for this modification is $551,000.
Scope of Change
This modification addresses the need to extend services for specific requirements (3.1 and 3.2) that were not initially evaluated for an extension option at the time of the original award.
- Incorporates: FAR clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services.
- Adds: Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) for requirements 3.1 and 3.2.
- Estimated Cost: $551,000, representing half of the original proposal for option period four.
- Performance Period: The extension covers the period from September 19, 2027, to March 18, 2028.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity (Modification to an existing Task Order)
- Parent IDIQ: OPSCAP IDIQ (FA251821D0001)
- Modified Task Order: FA251822F0052
- Published Date: March 3, 2026
- Place of Performance: Colorado Springs, CO
- Set-Aside: Not applicable (modification to an existing contract)
Rationale for Exception
The justification cites FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(C), indicating that this modification is a logical follow-on to an existing order, and that awarding a new task order for only six months of service for these two specific requirements to the same contractor would be unnecessary and costly. The government's interest is to efficiently add these requirements if the option needs to be exercised after option year four. This action does not impact new proposal submissions or evaluation factors for a new solicitation.
