Fair Opportunity Exception Justification relating to UCA Definitization for PASS II FA8721-13-D-0014 0003 HIB

This contract is a justification for an exception to the fair opportunity process under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i) related to a modification of the PASS II contract, specifically FA8721-13-D-0014 0003 (HIB). The modification supports the Business Sustainment Division by adding scope to existing Cost Plus Fixed Fee, Firm Fixed Price, and Cost Reimbursable contract line items, ensuring continuity of critical support services to the AFLCMC/HIB programs. The additional period of performance falls within the original task order’s scope, and this exception was necessary to prevent operational delays, maintain mission tempo, and avoid increased government costs across multiple supported programs. The undefinitized contract action (UCA) for this effort had been previously approved on April 13, 2016. The procurement is set aside as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 541712, aligning with the contracting strategy. Points of contact for this procurement include the Contracting Officer, Danielle Calli, and Contract Specialist, Patrick Monagle. The modification reflects the need to rapidly and efficiently augment support without undergoing the usual competition process to prevent gaps in crucial services and sustain program effectiveness. This contractual action underscores the importance of maintaining uninterrupted support services for ongoing Air Force materiel command operations.
