This Cost-Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) contract, effective January 1, 2023, to June 30, 2023, is crucial for mobilization/demobilization and deployment/redeployment activities supporting the Army Sustainable Readiness Model (SRM). The extension is necessary due to Government Accountability Office (GAO) protests delaying the award of a competitive task order under the SBS MA-IDIQ. Tatitlek Training Services, as the incumbent, is the only source capable of preventing a critical break in services, which would severely impact national security and troop readiness. Efforts to obtain competition are ongoing, with plans to re-solicit proposals once corrective actions from the protests are fully implemented.
