    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the U.S. Army, is seeking a nine-month extension for its Test Technology Support Services (TTSS) contract with Geeks and Nerds Corporation (GaN), valued at $7 million. This extension is justified under 10 U.S.C. §3204(a)(1) due to delays in the proposal re-submission and source selection evaluations for a follow-on contract, ensuring continuity of critical operational test, data collection, and experimentation support for the United States Army Operational Test Command (USAOTC). The services provided are vital for maintaining operational readiness and meeting statutory requirements, with the potential loss of $55 million if the extension is not approved. Interested parties can contact Tiffany L. Alexander at tiffany.l.alexander.civ@army.mil or by phone at 254-287-8780 for further information.

    JA Part 6 - Hood TTSS 2023-05 20221216_Redacted.pdf
    The U.S. Army is seeking a nine-month extension for its Test Technology Support Services (TTSS) contract with Geeks and Nerds Corporation (GaN) for $7 million. This sole-source justification, citing 10 U.S.C. §3204(a)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, is necessary due to delays in proposal re-submission and source selection evaluations for a follow-on contract. The extension ensures continuity of critical operational test, data collection, and experimentation support for the United States Army Operational Test Command (USAOTC). Alternatives like suspending support, using in-house resources, or conducting a new competitive acquisition are not viable due to potential mission disruption, lack of expertise, and insufficient time for transition. Disapproval would result in a $55 million loss and failure to meet statutory requirements. Efforts to increase competition included a sources sought notice, but only GaN could meet the immediate start date. The contract history shows prior extensions and protests, with GaN consistently providing these specialized services.
