Quick Summary
The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) has issued a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity to extend Task Order HS002124FE006 for Instructional Development and Delivery (IDD) support for one additional month. This action is a sole-source extension to prevent a lapse in critical services while a follow-on, competitively solicited task order is finalized.
Scope of Action
This notice details the DCSA's intent to exercise a one-month option to extend services for IDD support. The services encompass a broad range of IDD training products and support, including analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation (ADDIE), and maintenance of security-related training products. The extension is for the period of June 15 through July 14, 2026.
Contract Details
- Type: Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity (FAR 16.507-6(f))
- Action: One-month extension of existing Task Order HS002124FE006
- Incumbent Contractor: Team Carney, Inc.
- Contracting Activity: DCSA, Procurement Solutions (PRS) Directorate
- Place of Performance: Linthicum Heights, MD
- Product Service Code: U009 (Education Services)
Rationale for Extension
The extension is justified on the basis of economy and efficiency. It aims to avoid duplicated transition-in costs and ramp-up periods associated with a new vendor for a short-term requirement, serving as a logical follow-on to a previously competed order. This ensures continuity of essential IDD services.
Future Outlook
A follow-on requirement for these services has already been competitively solicited under the GSA HCaTS contract vehicle. This one-month extension is specifically intended to bridge the gap until that competition is finalized. Market research for the ongoing competitive solicitation indicated the availability of two or more capable and interested small businesses.
