R--Special Notice to post a Limited Sources Justification and Approval for a logical follow on to an EXPRESS task order.

The contract involves increasing the ceiling amount to facilitate the award of a new competitive contract as a logical follow-on to a current EXPRESS task order. It is associated with a Special Notice to post a Limited Sources Justification and Approval, indicating that the contract award process includes a rationale for limiting the source of competition based on specific criteria. The contract falls under NAICS code 541330, which pertains to engineering services, and is managed by the Department of Defense office located at Redstone Arsenal in Alabama. This action reflects the agency's need to extend or expand existing services through a new competitive process while ensuring proper justification for source selection. The solicitation number LSJA05A00290019 was posted on June 3, 2015, and although there is no specific set-aside designation, the contract is intended to maintain continuity and support ongoing mission requirements within the defense sector. The lack of detailed place of performance information suggests a broader or flexible work location arrangement consistent with the nature of engineering service contracts.
