    EFO_DHA-FE_PDB Support_Final_Redacted.pdf
    This document discusses the justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (EFO) concerning the Defense Health Agency (DHA) Facilities Enterprise in San Antonio, TX. The request is made to procure Project Support Services (PSS) needed to support DHA operations for a critical 4-week period due to an ongoing protest halting a previously awarded task order to NIKA Technologies, Inc. This exception is justified under 10 U.S.C. 2304C(b)(1) and FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(A), citing urgent needs that would lead to unacceptable delays if competitive procurement is attempted. The PSS aims to ensure operational continuity at DHA's headquarters, which oversees over 70 Medical Treatment Facilities globally, and is crucial for maintaining medical care for service members. NIKA is deemed uniquely qualified since it was already executing similar work. The document also notes that efforts to enhance competition are limited due to the urgency of the requirements and that no other contractors can effectively step in on short notice. Overall, the EFO approval is essential to prevent mission failure and ensure immediate medical support continuity while awaiting a larger contract justification.
