Portfolio Management

The contract modifies an existing task order to exercise a one-year option for Portfolio Management services to support the United States Transportation Command from 1 October 2026 through 30 September 2027. The modification is a sole-source action justified under FAR 16.507-6(b)(3) to ensure continuity of critical IT governance, capital planning, and compliance functions due to the unique institutional knowledge held by the current contractor, CST Corporation, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. The services encompass IT portfolio optimization, Clinger-Cohen Act compliance, cybersecurity reporting via weekly and monthly scorecards aligned with FISMA, and accurate data validation for the DoD IT Portfolio Repository. Performance is based on a Firm Fixed Price structure with a Time and Materials line item for travel, all centered at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. The government retains full responsibility for inspection and acceptance of deliverables, which are tied directly to statutory requirements, and failure to meet these could result in the suspension of IT funding. The contractor’s ability to maintain consistent staffing, operational integration, and compliance with federal and DoD regulations is deemed essential to prevent operational risk during a critical reorganization of IT governance authority. No competitive solicitation is pursued due to the specialized nature of the work, the embedded nature of the contractor’s personnel, and the urgency of sustaining mission-critical reporting and compliance without disruption.
