Timeline
    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Army, is seeking to procure case management and knowledge management support services through a sole-source contract with CSRA. This procurement is justified under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) due to CSRA being the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency's requirements, as confirmed by continuous market research indicating no viable alternatives for the I2G software. The contract is critical for maintaining the functionality and support of the I2G system, which has previously transitioned from competitive bidding to a sole-source acquisition based on the unique capabilities of CSRA products. Interested parties can reach out to Colleen Paglio at colleen.m.paglio.civ@army.mil or Wendella Baptiste at wendella.a.baptiste.civ@army.mil for further information regarding this opportunity.

    The document details the procurement history of the I2G system, specifically focusing on the shift from competitive bidding to a sole-source acquisition for CSRA products. Initially, contracts for the I2G system, such as GS35F393CA/Task Order W15QKN-16-F-0049 and GS35F4381G/Task Order GST1113BJ0021, were awarded through full and open competition. However, during the procurement of task order W15QKN-19-F-0728, it was determined that CSRA was the only vendor to consistently propose and lacked affiliations for system upgrades or maintenance. Continuous market research by USACID confirmed that no other alternatives to CSRA products met the requirements, leading to the decision to pursue a sole-source acquisition under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B). This was deemed to be in the government's best interest due to CSRA being the sole viable source for the I2G software, with no authorized resellers identified at that time.
