Army justification for a $4.34 million ceiling increase to existing ARA support services

This Army notice justifies a $4,339,131.44 increase to the ceiling of an existing task order for development and maintenance support services. - Notice and award context - The Department of the Army issued a redacted Exception to Fair Opportunity Justification for contract W911QX24D0004 and delivery order W911QX26FA006. - The existing task order is held by Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA). - Modification - The requested within-scope ceiling increase is $4,339,131.44, to address higher-than-anticipated demand for existing development and maintenance support. - The modification adds no deliverables and does not change the requirements. - Rationale - The Army cites a logical follow-on under FAR 16.507-6(d)(2), stating that continuing with ARA avoids duplicated work and costs, redundant contracting, and delays to rapid deployment. - The original order provided all awardees a fair opportunity. - Scope and timing - No specific quantities, detailed work breakdown, or period of performance are provided in the available information.
