The Department of the Navy, specifically the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), has justified the establishment of a "Bridge Contract" with CACI Technologies, LLC, valued at approximately $8.2 million. This contract derives from the need to ensure continuity of critical scientific, engineering, and technical support services while a protest regarding a follow-on task order is resolved. The Bridge Contract, a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee agreement, is set for a 132-day performance period, from September 5, 2024, to January 15, 2025, which includes time for protest resolution and transition activities.
The justification for restricting competition under 10 U.S.C. §3204 is based on the potential for unacceptable delays if alternate providers were engaged. Historical data underscores the exclusive capabilities of CACI to meet the urgent requirements of the NAVSEA workforce, essential for ongoing naval operations and project management training. The report indicates that the contract aligns with federal regulations and that efforts to broaden participation have yielded no additional bidders, confirming CACI as the sole provider for the necessary services during the interim period. Consequently, the contract is deemed fair and reasonable, necessary to avoid adverse impacts on naval maintenance and training program execution.
