Limited Sources Justification

This contract is a limited-source justification under FAR 8.405-6 for Task Order N0018926FB021 issued against GSA Contract 47QSWA24D000F, designed to maintain a critical electronic security system at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington D.C. The procurement is non-competitive, relying solely on the incumbent contractor, Signet Technologies dba Convergent Federal, due to its unique institutional knowledge of the system’s design, maintenance history, and compliance with federal security hardware specifications. Transitioning to a new contractor poses unacceptable risks of system downtime, non-compliance, and potential mandated hardware replacement, justifying the restriction to a sole source. The contract is structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price Federal Supply Schedule task order with a twelve-month base period and four additional twelve-month option periods, capable of extending performance through April 24, 2031. Performance is tied to the Washington Navy Yard, where the contractor must provide 24/7 emergency response, diagnostics, preventive maintenance, and timely repairs to ensure uninterrupted operation of sensitive DoD-controlled environments. The estimated contract value ranges from $12,381.92 to $65,736.44 based on the Independent Government Estimate, covering all potential options. The contracting activity is NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, with Shanna Harris identified as the primary point of contact. While the contractor is identified as a large business with CAGE Code 4A8Z7, no socioeconomic certifications or unique entity identifiers are disclosed. The justification explicitly avoids competitive procedures due to operational necessity and systemic risk, and though no contract clauses, evaluation factors, or detailed pricing line items are listed, compliance with federal security standards and continuity of service are central to the award decision. No packaging, inspection protocols, invoicing methods, or formal proposal submission instructions are specified, but performance, acceptance, and maintenance are all geographically anchored at the Washington Navy Yard under direct government oversight.
