This includes furnishing all necessary supervision, labor, supplies, materials, and equipment.

Evaluation & Justification
This award was made as a sole-source action to the incumbent contractor, ONE CORPS, INC., under an "unusual and compelling need" justification (Other Than Full and Open Competition).

The bridge contract provides the necessary time for the VA to complete the competitive acquisition process for the long-term follow-on contract.
