- Description
- In accordance with FAR Subpart 8.4, this award was made using other than full and open competition. Pursuant to the authority of FAR 8.405-6(a)(l)(i)(B) competition can be limited when only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required by the agency. The purpose of this sole source award is to continue services provided by the current contractor (Accenture Federal Services, LLC) as a bridge contract to the Commerce Business Systems (CBS) Core Financial System (CFS) Support Services Task Order SA1301-12-NC-0064. This support contract provides critical product, service and management support to the Department of Commerce's (DOC) Office of Financial Management/CBS Solutions Center (OFM/CSC) that includes application development and support services in support of its CBS/ CFS application software, interfaces, portals, dashboards, as well as all related customer support activities. The continuation of the current CBS support contract is essential to allow DOC to continue to achieve its organization goals related to financial performance, customer satisfaction and organizational excellence. Pursuant to FAR 8.405-6(a)(l )(i)(B), only one source is capable of providing the services required. The period of performance is for one base period of three months with three option periods of one month each to enable NIST to complete the larger acquisition for the Department-wide CFS support services. The incumbent contractor, Accenture Federal Services, LLC, has amassed an expertise in all aspects of the CBS/CFS Program and is uniquely qualified to continue supporting the CBS/CFS in this short period of performance, which is why a sole source bridge contract is necessary. The incumbent's experience and knowledge of many inter-related requirements and dependent tasks that are ongoing in the Program and being conducted is critical to successfully supporting the CFS implementation during this short period. The incumbent has intimate knowledge of CBS's system, technical and operational environment due to the unique and specialized nature of the ongoing work. Due to their knowledge of the current highly customized code, the current provider is able to recommend specific settings, changes, and interfaces quickly and most efficiently to maximize Commerce's CBS environment to best meet DOC's business needs during this bridge period. This effort will allow the CBS to benefit from seamless support without potential disruption or learning curve during a re-compete process for a larger contract for an anticipated base year plus four option years.
