REDACTED J&A

Other / Unclassified

This document is a Justification Review Document (JRD) for FAR Part 16, seeking an exception to fair opportunity for a sole-source award. It outlines the rationale for awarding a task order under the Medical Center of Excellence (MEDCoE) Instructor/Multimedia Support (IMS) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC).

This document explains why a specific task order (W9124J-25-F-A112) is being considered for a sole-source award as a logical follow-on to an existing order. The justification is based on:

• Economy and Efficiency: It's a logical follow-on to an order where awardees were previously given fair opportunity.
• Continuity of Operations: The MEDCoE requires instructional design services for training development and delivery. The current incumbent contractor possesses the necessary fully trained, security-cleared, and site-acclimated personnel to ensure uninterrupted instruction.
• Risk Mitigation: Awarding to a new contractor would require a significant ramp-up period for recruitment and training, risking mission failure, degraded training quality, and loss of critical institutional knowledge. The annual recompete cycle for this requirement has previously raised concerns about staffing qualified personnel.
• Procurement History: The requirement was previously awarded to Nisga'a Tek, LLC, expiring September 28, 2025. Concerns about staffing during the re-compete period prompted the decision for this sole-source justification for the FY25 period.

Key Details:

• Program/Equipment: MEDCoE Instructor/Multimedia Support (IMS) MATOC.
• Requiring Activity: Department of the Army, U.S. Army Medical Center of Excellence, Fort Sam Houston, TX.
• Contracting Activity: U.S. Army Mission and Installation Contracting Command, JBSA Fort Sam Houston.
• Amount: $365,956.80
• Authority: Title 10 U.S.C. §3406(c)(2) and FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(C).

Future Competition: The government plans to develop a new Performance Work Statement (PWS) for the subsequent contract award to ensure adequate phase-in/transition and maximize future competition.
