Labor Support Services for DLA Distribution

In accordance with FAR 6.302-1, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) anticipates awarding a modification to existing DLA Distribution Contract SP3300-16-D-5002 on a sole source basis to Technica, LLC. This contract provides labor to support workload surges, unforeseen/unplanned workload, contingency operations, and special projects. The modification will extend the ordering period pursuant to FAR 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services by six (6) months and increase the ceiling amount. Pursuant to the exception under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), only Technica, LLC is capable of providing the services at this time; award to any other source will result in unacceptable delays and would preclude DLA from reacting timely to requirements. Award of the follow-on contract will not be made in time to prevent a lapse in service due to unforeseen delays in the acquisition process that were outside of DLA’s control. Additionally, DLA anticipates significant challenges with transition from the current contract to the follow on due to the pandemic environment. Thus, an extension and corresponding ceiling increase are necessary. If the ordering period is not extended an the contract ceiling is not increased to accommodate the known and anticipated requirements of this contract, as well as any unplanned requirements, DLA Distribution would not have a contract vehicle to provide services within the scope of this contract to support DLA and its customers’ mission. The modification to current contract SP3300-16-D-5002 will serve as a temporary solution to fulfill immediate mission requirements. A follow-on procurement is in process. The J&A for this ceiling increase will be posted once it is executed. This is not a solicitation for proposals or an invitation for bids. The Government does not anticipate receiving responses to this notice of a non-competitive action.
