Quick Summary
The Defense Health Agency (DHA) intends to award a sole source, firm fixed-price contract extension to Zygos Consulting LLC for Strategic Advisor Support. This notice, issued under FAR 6.302-1, is not a request for competitive proposals. The extension aims to ensure continuity of critical services while a previously competed follow-on award is undergoing corrective actions due to GAO protests.
Purpose & Scope
This contract extension will continue providing strategic advisor support functions across the Defense Health Agency for the Program Executive Officer (PEO) of Medical Systems/Chief Information Officer (CIO)/ J-6. The services are essential to bridge the gap between the current contract (HT001524C0003) and the eventual re-affirmation and start date of the competed follow-on award.
