    The Justification Review Document presents a request for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (EFO) under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(A) related to the Defense Health Agency (DHA) Facilities Enterprise in San Antonio, Texas. The EFO seeks to fulfill urgent requirements for Project Support Services from NIKA Technologies for a six-month period, running from September 10, 2024, to March 9, 2025. The request cites an immediate need for services vital to maintaining over 200 Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs), stating that delays in awarding this task order would jeopardize patient care and significantly affect the Department of Defense's operations. The document outlines that no competition will be pursued due to the urgency and critical nature of the work, and market research indicates that NIKA is the only contractor prepared to provide these services promptly. Furthermore, the summary notes ongoing procurement challenges, including a prior protest affecting contract execution. It concludes with formal approvals indicating that the requested actions comply with required legal and regulatory frameworks while prioritizing the essential operational needs of military medical facilities.
    The document details a request for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (EFO) for Facilities Operations Branch (FOB) Execution Support from the Defense Health Agency (DHA) in San Antonio, Texas. Citing urgent needs for facility operations, the EFO is justified under 10 U.S. Code 2304C as delays in service would critically hinder medical care for service members. The action seeks to contract NIKA Technologies, Inc. for a short duration, covering a four-week performance period, commencing 5 August 2024, following a work stoppage due to a protest against previous contract awards. The contractor will provide essential technical and administrative support necessary for the maintenance of Military Treatment Facilities globally. Urgency and the specialized nature of the work rendered it impractical to seek competitive bids, as the staffing is crucial for compliance with Joint Commission standards and operational safety. With a focus on maintaining continuous medical care, the justification includes certifications of the requirement's urgency, fair cost assessment, and a statement of readiness to proceed based on the necessity to ensure patient safety and maintain healthcare infrastructure.
