Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition for the Extension of OASIS SB Pool 1 Contracts IAW FAR 6.302-2, Unusual & Compelling Urgency in Support of GSA AAS & USSOCOM Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Requirement (47QFCA24R0048)

ID: 47QFCA24R0048 • Type: Justification

Description

This justification supported the extension of the OASIS 8(a) contracts for offerors to the USSOCOM Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD), TORFP 47QFCA24R0048 by 30 days from their current ordering period, which expired on December 19, 2024, to a new ordering period end date of January 18, 2025. This extension allowed for TORFP evaluations to conclude and placement of the task order identified in this justification to be finalized. An additional 180-day ordering period "contingency option" was included in the extension to accommodate protest resolution should a protest be filed against the task order. If a protest is filed and the outcome requires the issuance of a new solicitation (not an amended TORFP), the ordering contracting officer will NOT be able to utilize OASIS 8(a) for the recompete. The 180-day contingency option period may be exercised, if needed, only to allow ample time for the protest and any corrective action to be resolved.

The specific contractors listed in the attached justification and submitted TORFP proposals remain the only contractors eligible for task order award. The TORFP was issued and competed among all OASIS SB Pool 1 contractors, and proposals were received prior to the contracts' original ordering period date of December 19, 2024. All contractors who responded to the TORFP are subject to the individual extensions documented herein.

Background
The justification supports the extension of the OASIS 8(a) contracts for offerors to the USSOCOM Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) task order request for proposal (TORFP) 47QFCA24R0048.

The extension is necessary to allow for the completion of evaluations and finalization of the task order, which is critical to the mission of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM).

The OASIS Small Business (SB) master contracts were originally competed as a total small business set-aside in 2013. The current ordering period expires on December 19, 2024, and this extension will push it to January 18, 2025. Additionally, a 180-day contingency option is included to address any potential protests that may arise during this period.

Work Details
The extension allows for the completion of award activities related to the CWMD task order procurement.

It promotes adequate competition by ensuring that proposals already received from several small businesses can be fully evaluated.

The justification emphasizes that without this extension, the agency would have to resort to sole-source extensions at potentially higher costs and waste investments made by small businesses in pursuing this opportunity.

The specific tasks include providing subject matter expertise in CWMD operations, information management, planning, training, exercises, readiness, personnel management, and intelligence across all warfare domains. This expertise will support strategic studies and assessments for USSOCOM’s Unified Command Plan (UCP) CWMD mission and facilitate coordination with interagency partners and allies.

Period of Performance
The ordering period is extended by 30 days from December 19, 2024, to January 18, 2025. An additional contingency option of up to 180 days may be exercised if necessary.

Place of Performance
The work will be performed at various CONUS locations as required by the task order.
