AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Security and Safety Performance Assurance plans to award a sole source bridge contract for up to 12 months to ensure continuity of Protective Force services in the National Capital Area. This contract is necessary to maintain uninterrupted security support, as the current contract with Worldwide Security Services, Ltd. (WSS) expires July 31, 2005. WSS is uniquely qualified due to its specialized knowledge, experience, and personnel with the required security clearances, making it the only viable source to fulfill these critical services immediately following contract expiration. This bridge contract is authorized under statutory provisions allowing non-competitive awards when only one responsible source can meet the agency’s needs, pending a competitive follow-on procurement. The follow-on acquisition will be a small business set-aside, but until it is completed, this sole source contract with WSS will provide essential protective services starting August 1, 2005. The decision reflects the importance of continuity in a highly specialized security environment where interruption could compromise safety and operational integrity.

Full Description

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Security and Safety Performance Assurance (SSA), intends to award a sole source bridge contract for a period up to 12 months (including base period plus option periods) for Protective Force services in the National Capital Area for DOE. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is Section 303(c) of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended by the Competition in Contracting Act [41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1)], implemented under FAR 6.302-1 (a) which authorizes other than full and open competition when there is only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The bridge is required pending completion of a competitive follow-on acquisition. The present contract with Worldwide Security Services, Ltd. (WSS) will end on July 31, 2005. No other firm has the requisite knowledge and experience that can assume the highly specialized protective force support without interruption on August 1, 2005. WSS has the requisite number of key and non-key personnel possessing the required security clearances. This unique working environment necessitates the award of a sole source “bridge? to the incumbent contractor, WSS. The follow on procurement action will be a competitive small business set-aside. The intent of this sole source procurement is to provide the required support services from August 1, 2005 until the completion of the follow-on acquisition. Note 22 apply.
