AI Contract Overview
The AFIMSC IT Support Services contract, solicitation FA890326C0018, is a Department of Defense award for enterprise-level IT service requirements. To avoid potential gaps in service and bypass the lengthy competitive process associated with GSA STARS III, the agency utilized a direct 8(a) sole-source award to an Alaskan Native Corporation. This procurement strategy leveraged regulatory justifications allowing sole-source awards to ANCs up to 100 million dollars without a formal Justification and Approval, ensuring performance could begin immediately following the previous contract's expiration on August 31, 2026. The contract is structured as a Firm Fixed Price agreement to maintain cost stability and predictable execution. The period of performance consists of a six-month base period, four 12-month option years, and a final six-month extension. Managed out of San Antonio, Texas, under NAICS code 541513, the award ensures the continuity of critical IT infrastructure support through a streamlined acquisition process.

Full Description
This acquisition was awarded as a direct 8(a) Alaskan Native Corporation (ANC) award to support enterprise-level IT service requirements. The period of performance includes a six-month base period, four 12-month option years, and a six-month extension, all structured under Firm Fixed Price (FFP) CLINs to ensure cost stability and predictable execution.
Market Research (MR): While the team identified seven capable ANC vendors on STARS III, the procurement schedule presented a critical risk. The current contract expires on 31 August 2026, and performance must begin on 1 September 2026.
a. The GSA Consultation: Discussions with GSA STARS III Program Branch Chief, Jean E. Fluevog, confirmed that running a competitive acquisition under STARS III could not be completed in time to meet the 31 August 2026 award deadline.
b. The Solution (ANC Sole-Source): To bypass the time-consuming competitive "fair opportunity" process, the team pivoted to a standalone, direct 8(a) sole-source award to an Alaska Native Corporation (ANC).
c. The Regulatory Justification:
-
- Under DoW partnership rules (RFO 19.208-2 and 13 CFR 124.506(b)(1)), direct sole-source awards to ANCs, Indian Tribes, or Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHOs) can be made up to $100 Million without requiring a formal Justification and Approval (J&A).
This drastically shortens the lead time while keeping the requirement firmly within the 8(a) program.
