    Limited Soruce Justification FAR 8.405-6.pdf
    The Department of the Interior (DOI) is issuing a six-month, sole-source contract to T&T Consulting Services, Inc., for critical computer/information technology (C4IT) support services for the Department of Defense Medical Education and Training Campus (METC). This Limited-Sources Justification, under Solicitation No. 140D0423Q0472, is necessary due to the expiration of the current contract and the need for a bridge period to evaluate numerous quotes for a new follow-on contract. The services, estimated at $1,988,537.60, include Tier 0/I/II support, system administration, and management of various IT and audio-visual equipment, supporting over 8,000 hardware units and 9,500 daily users. T&T Consulting Services, Inc. was selected because they are the incumbent contractor and have the required DOD clearances, ensuring no lapse in mission-critical support. The agency plans to allocate more time for future evaluations to avoid similar sole-source justifications.
