    CASS DnF_ Single Award IDIQ over 100M_24 May 24_SPE SIGNED_Redacted.pdf
    The Defense Health Agency (DHA) intends to establish an indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract for Contracting and Acquisition Support Services (CASS) valued at up to $225 million, operating from February 15, 2025, to February 14, 2030, with a possible extension. The DHA determines that a single-award contract is necessary due to the integrated nature of the projected tasks, which requires a cohesive workflow that could be disrupted by multiple contractors. Current experiences have shown that a single contractor effectively manages necessary adaptations in staffing and location, preventing delays and inaccuracies in DHA reports. A single-award IDIQ will streamline processes, saving time and enhancing efficiency, as evaluating multiple offers under multiple-award contracts would impose significant administrative burdens. The findings support the need for a tailored approach to the contracting process, aligned with DHA's operational requirements, ensuring proper execution and adaptability in response to changing needs. This document underscores the agency's strategic intent in procurement, reflecting broader federal guidelines for effective and efficient contract management.
