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.
