Notice of Award and Posting of Sole Source Justification

This bridge task order was issued under the contractor’s GSA Federal Supply Schedule Contract No. 47QTCB21D0153. The order was awarded on a sole source basis in accordance with the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul Federal Supply Schedule Ordering Procedures at GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(1)(ii). The attached Sole Source Justification, formerly commonly referred to as a Limited Sources Justification, supports the agency’s determination that award to Clark Baty Associates Inc is in the interest of economy and efficiency because the bridge task order is a logical follow-on. The bridge task order is necessary to ensure continuity of critical services while the agency completes the follow-on acquisition. Award to any other contractor during this short bridge period would result in unnecessary transition costs, duplication of effort, performance risk, and potential disruption to ongoing agency operations. The incumbent contractor is currently performing the requirement, possesses the necessary knowledge of the agency’s systems, processes, and ongoing workload, and is positioned to continue performance without interruption.
