    STOR 161A JA_sam.gov.pdf
    The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) proposes a sole-source, limited-sources justification contract to Leidos Innovations Corporation for the continued operation, maintenance, and enhancement of the National Virtual Translation Center (NVTC) Translator’s Online Network Support (TONS) system. This follow-on contract, a hybrid of Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) and Time and Materials (T&M), is critical to prevent service lapses as the existing contract expires on December 7, 2022. The justification cites the need for continuous support due to the system's vital role in national intelligence, the incumbent's unique historical knowledge, and the risks associated with transitioning to a new contractor for a short-term period while a competitively re-awarded contract is being finalized through GSA. The contract covers three task areas: TONS O&M, development of a cloud-based TONS production environment, and enhancement/refactoring of cloud-based TONS. This interim measure allows the government to complete a full recompete without mission impact.
