Description
This Limited Source Justification (LSJ) provides for a continuation of services that must be maintained to meet agency mission as the agency takes voluntary corrective action to the successor contract. This LSJ modifies an existing Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract (GS-35F-337BA/75FCMC20F0025) and is in the interest of economy and efficiency as a logical follow on to a competitively awarded FSS contract as described in FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C). Per agency policy this LSJ was signed and approved by the agency competition advocate. The LSJ is attached to this notice as required in FAR 8.405-6(a)(2).
The proposed action is an extension to the current Web Experience and Content Management Services (WECMS) a Task Order under a GSA Federal Supply Schedule Contract (GS-35F-337BA/75FCMC20F0025) awarded to CivicActions Inc. The subject task order was awarded on February 28, 2020 and was a total small business set aside. The current period of performance scheduled to conclude on November 15, 2023. The agency’s original intent was to award a follow-on Task Order using competitive procedures for Federal Supply Schedule orders. The follow -on Task Order was awarded on August 31, 2023 to Bellese Technologies, LLC. On September 11, 2023 the agency received two (2) Government Accountability Office (GAO) level protests from unsuccessful offerors for the follow-on contract. The HHS Office of General Counsel (OGC) determined both protests were timely and accordingly recommended the Contracting Officer (CO) issue a stop work order to Bellese Technologies, LLC for the follow-on Task Order. The Stop work Order was issued on September 12, 2023. As a result of the GAO protests, work under the current WECMS task order must continue.
