Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA) Assisted Acquisition Services (AAS), on behalf of the U.S. Air Force Headquarters – Air Education Training Command (HQ AETC), has issued a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (ETFO). This justification supports the award of a bridge task order to The Ventura Group, Inc. for Technical Training Management System (TTMS) IT Sustainment Operations.
Scope of Work
The contractor will provide continued sustainment and operation of the TTMS, a mission-critical web-based service used to manage students through Basic Military Training (BMT) and technical training. Key responsibilities include:
- Operating modules for Automated Testing, Trainee Management, and Courseware Implementation.
- Managing Job Match and Learning Management Systems.
- Maintaining interfaces with external systems such as ADSS, AFID, AFRISS-TF, and myLearning.
Contract & Timeline
- Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Bridge Task Order
- Vehicle: GSA VETS 2 GWAC
- Contractor: The Ventura Group, Inc.
- Duration: Six (6) month base period with one six (6) month option period.
- Anticipated Award: January 2026
- Set-Aside: GSA VETS 2 (SDVOSB vehicle)
Rationale for Exception
This bridge action is necessary to prevent a lapse in critical training management services. While the Air Force intended to migrate these operations to the new AFMS3 IDIQ contract, that award is currently delayed by post-award protests. Corrective actions indicate that performance on the follow-on contract will not begin until June 2026, necessitating this interim support.
Additional Notes
This notice serves as the public posting of the redacted Justification and Approval (J&A) as required by FAR 16.505. No further competition is being sought for this specific bridge requirement.
