AI Contract Overview
This contract consolidates two previously separate Army intelligence-related task orders into a single Firm Fixed Price Level of Effort (FFP LOE) contract to support Headquarters, Department of the Army Deputy Chief of Staff, Intelligence at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. The consolidation merges services from the Intelligence Operations Support Services (IOSS) and Intelligence Automation Support (IAS) efforts, which were formerly awarded to large businesses under separate contracts. The unified acquisition aims to improve operational efficiency, reduce administrative duplication, and strengthen mission effectiveness by integrating intelligence data lifecycle management with IT system administration and software maintenance functions. The contract is structured to enable streamlined contract management, enhanced oversight, and optimal workforce utilization, fostering better alignment with mission readiness and quality performance. The procurement is designated as a 100 percent small business set-aside under NAICS code 541519, reflecting a strategic shift to increase small business participation consistent with agency objectives. Market research confirmed the presence of qualified small business concerns capable of fulfilling the consolidated requirement. The contract includes a 12-month base period with four 12-month option periods plus a potential six-month extension under FAR 52.217-8, allowing for up to 66 months of performance. Security clearance requirements for personnel and facilities are mandatory due to the sensitive nature of the intelligence environment, and personnel must possess domain-specific knowledge to meet key mission needs. The contract excludes use of GSA Schedule 70 or CHESS vehicles, emphasizing the unique, non-commercial nature of the services. Government oversight will be based at Fort Belvoir, with payment and invoicing details not explicitly specified. The award evaluation emphasizes best-value trade-offs incorporating quality benefits, workforce optimization, acquisition efficiency, and small business participation, aiming to ensure cost predictability, reduce administrative burden, and improve integrated service delivery for this critical intelligence support mission.

Full Description
This requirement consolidates services currently performed under Task Order No. W50NH9-22-F-0012 issued under Contract No. HHM402-19-D-0021 and Task Order No. W50NH9-24-F-0084 issued under Contract No. W52P1J-18-D-A095. The predecessor task orders were awarded separately to large business concerns and support related intelligence mission requirements.
The Government has determined that consolidating these requirements into a single acquisition will improve operational efficiency, enhance integration of services, reduce administrative duplication, and improve mission effectiveness. The consolidated requirement encompasses substantially similar and interrelated support services previously performed under the separate task orders.
The new acquisition will be issued as a 100 percent small business set-aside. This strategy increases small business participation as compared to the predecessor awards and aligns with agency small business objectives. Market research confirmed the availability of responsible small business concerns capable of performing the consolidated requirement.
A Determination and Findings supporting this consolidation, prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation FAR 7.107-2, is attached to this notice.
