OST Application Support Extension- Sole Source Justification

This contract modification extends the existing Call Order 693JJ322F00429N by up to four months, consisting of a two-month base period and a two-month option period, to ensure uninterrupted support for critical Department of Transportation applications while a new competitive call order is being awarded. The extended performance period, if the option is exercised, runs from June 13, 2026, to October 12, 2026. The work involves Program Management, Operations and Maintenance, and Development, Modernization, and Enhancements for mission-critical systems including the Aviation Data Decision System, Case Tracking System, Consumer Complaint Application, Grants Notification System, Legislative Implementation Plan–Rulemaking Management System, and the Office of Civil Rights’ General Support System. Services are performed at the Office of the Secretary of Transportation in Washington, D.C., with acceptance occurring at the same location. The extension is justified as a sole source action under GSAM 538.7104-3(b)(1)(iii) due to the unique expertise and proprietary knowledge of the current contractor, Halvik Corp., which was established under the SWES Blanket Purchase Agreement. No pricing, line-item details, or contract value are provided, and no formal contract clauses, inspection criteria, packaging standards, or accounting data are specified in the documentation. The Contracting Officer is Gunnar M. Prutz, with Regi Alexander Perimchelloor serving as the Contracting Officer’s Representative, both based at the Federal Highway Administration’s Office of Acquisition and Grants Management. No key personnel are formally named, nor are security clearances, organizational conflict of interest provisions, or socioeconomic certifications addressed. The upcoming competitive solicitation will be limited to holders of the SWES BPA, but the selection methodology and evaluation factors remain unspecified.
