Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA), on behalf of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)), has issued a Sole Source Justification for a six-month extension of an existing task order with PM2 Strategies LLC. This modification, under GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract GS03F041GA, ensures continued support for the DoD Manufacturing Technology Program (ManTech).
Scope of Work
The extension requires PM2 Strategies LLC to continue providing critical oversight of manufacturing processes and technical, financial, and acquisition support for the Defense-wide Manufacturing Technology Program. This includes tracking projects using DoD's Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) criteria across key initiatives such as:
- AIM Photonics (data transfer using light)
- America Makes (3D printing, robotics)
- BioFabUSA (biofabrication of cells, tissues, organs)
- BioMade (bio-based fuels and materials)
- MxD (lifecycle management, cybersecurity for factories)
- NextFlex (durable and flexible electronics)
Contract & Timeline
- Contracting Activity: GSA AAS Contracting Office (QFACB)
- Existing Task Order: 47QFMA21F0017
- Extension Period: April 06, 2026, through October 05, 2026 (six months)
- Task Order Type: Combination Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and Time and Materials (T&M)
- Published Date: April 21, 2026
Evaluation
This document is a justification for a sole-source action, not a solicitation for new proposals. The justification is based on the unique expertise of PM2 Strategies LLC and the necessity to avoid disruption to critical manufacturing processes. A technical evaluation of the proposed labor mix will be conducted by the GSA PM and client TPOC.
Eligibility / Set-Aside
This is a sole-source justification, citing GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(ii), which permits sole-source awards when only one source is capable of providing the required unique or highly specialized products, services, or solutions.
Additional Notes
The extension is necessary due to delays in recompeting the task order, caused by organizational and requirement changes related to the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBA)" and the establishment of a new contracting office. This extension will facilitate knowledge transfer and program awareness during the transition to a new contractor.
