The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) seeks approval to extend its contract with ManTech Advanced Systems International Inc. for Enterprise Management and Cyber Security Services due to ongoing critical support needs amidst a procurement protest affecting the follow-on contract. The extension is justified under FAR regulations as only ManTech can fulfill these specialized services promptly, avoiding significant operational delays and mission disruptions. The new extension will last up to five months, ensuring continuity of services during the transition to a new contract once the protest is resolved.

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) seeks approval for a sole source extension of the existing contract with ManTech International Corporation for Enterprise Managed Services (ITEMS EM/CSS) for an additional five months to avoid service gaps during a transition to a new contract that is currently under protest. The extension is necessary to ensure continuous support for NGA's critical enterprise management functions without mission disruption, as only ManTech can provide the required services in the required timeframe. Efforts to solicit competition were made, but no other vendors were positioned to meet the immediate needs without unacceptable delays.

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) plans to extend its existing contract with ManTech Advanced Systems International, Inc. for Information Technology Enterprise Managed Services and Cyber Security Services from April 1, 2023, to August 31, 2023, due to the ongoing protest and transition related to a newly awarded contract. This sole source modification will ensure continuous support for NGA's Enterprise Management functions and prevent gaps in critical operations. Interested parties may submit evidence of their capability to meet the requirement by February 3, 2023, although the decision to request competition remains at the Government's discretion.
