Exception to Fair Opportunity for the placement of an order under a Multiple Award Contract in accordance with FAR Part 16.505(b)(2)

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific (SSC Pacific) issued a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity to award a task order under an existing Multiple Award Contract in accordance with FAR Part 16.505(b)(2). This task order, N66001-18-F-1273 under contract N66001-17-D-0216, was awarded to ManTech Advanced Systems International on June 28, 2018, with a contract value of $279,211.69. The scope of work involved oversight and management of the installation and configuration of new Video Teleconferencing Equipment (VTE) and associated software. The procurement falls under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541330, which pertains to engineering services, and the Product Service Code (PSC) U008, relating to IT and telecommunications services. The contract was performed for the Department of Defense through the Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific, located in San Diego, California. The justification allowed ordering without providing all eligible contractors a fair opportunity, presumably due to specific requirements or urgency outlined under FAR regulations. This streamlined procurement was intended to support critical infrastructure upgrades for command and control communication capabilities within the Navy’s operational framework.
