Details on two recently awarded contracts:
Notice ID: JA22-0042B
Contract Award Number: HT001119C0005
The current contract continued services through January 16th, 2022, while the agency awaited a General Accounting Office (GAO) decision on two protests with a stay of performance for the competitive award from solicitation HT001120R0003 to replace the services under this contract. Following denial and dismissal of those protests, an interested party filed a protest with the Court of Federal Claims (COFC). Under the supervision of the court, the agency entered into a voluntary 4-month injunction against performance of the competitive award. The contract extension under this justification will prevent a gap in necessary services, providing the agency time to address the protest and respond to a ruling by the court. The incumbent, BAH, possesses the operational infrastructure and knowledge required for successful performance. The contractor can continue to provide the support required during this extension without a loss of efficiency and negative impact to program support functions. These services must continue uninterrupted in order to meet the needs of our wounded warriors and avoid unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements.
