Justification for an exception to fair Opportunity JOPES/TransViz

The contract pertains to a justification for granting an exception to the fair opportunity process regarding functional management support for the Joint Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES) and the Transportation Visualizer (TransViz).

The project falls under the NAICS code 541512, which relates to computer systems design services, indicating the nature of the support involves specialized IT functional management. This effort is overseen by the United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) office located at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois, which is the place of performance for this contract. Key contacts for this contract include Kelly L. Hokeness and Terina Folsom, both civilian employees reachable via provided email addresses and phone numbers. The original solicitation was posted on March 4, 2021, and while specific task details are not included, the focus is clearly on maintaining critical functional support for JOPES and TransViz systems essential to military transportation and operational planning.
