Awarding to another contractor will cause "unacceptable delays" in fulfilling the agencies requirement and "duplication of costs".

The SETA contract provides mission critical support services to JIAMDO for management, engineering, operations research and analysis, modeling and simulation, war fighter operations, training, exercises, intelligence analysis and data management.
