Navy sole-source bridge modification for COMNAVAIRFOR administrative and personnel support

This Navy sole-source bridge modification continues administrative and personnel support for Commander, Naval Air Forces (COMNAVAIRFOR) while the Government addresses a protest and completes follow-on award actions. - Award and contractor: The Department of the Navy, through NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center San Diego, is modifying the existing Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee contract with Virtual Computing Technology, Inc. - Services: Support covers Fleet Replacement Squadrons, test and evaluation squadrons, and COMNAVAIRPAC/COMNAVAIRLANT headquarters. Tasks include correspondence and mail, personnel reporting and travel, security clearances, fitness reports and evaluations, awards, publications, flight schedules, and personnel-action support. - Scale and purpose: The incumbent supports 14 squadrons and two headquarters with 215 cleared, experienced personnel. The bridge is intended to prevent a service interruption that could affect fleet and aircraft readiness while the Navy completes corrective action and follow-on source selection after a GAO protest. - Performance-period discrepancy: The attachment describes a four-month base period (New Option 13), October 11, 2026 through February 15, 2027, plus one contingent four-month option (New Option 14), for eight months total. The initial release summary instead states a 4.5-month base plus a four-month option, or 8.5 months; confirm the controlling period in the contract modification. - Contingent option: New Option 14 is intended to cover the 100-day GAO protest period and administrative processing if a timely protest follows the new award. - Sole-source basis: The justification cites 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B), citing unacceptable delays in meeting the agency’s requirements. No discrete products, part numbers, or contract value are provided.

Description

This notice is to provide the Justification and Approval (J&A) for the award of a sole-source contract modification under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B), Unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements.

The approved action is a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) modification to existing contract N00244-26-C-S003 with Virtual Computing Technology, Inc. (Solana Beach, CA) to add two option periods totaling 8.5 months (a 4.5-month base and one 4-month option period).

This modification is required to extend the performance of critical departmental administrative and personnel support services for the Commander, Naval Air Forces (COMNAVAIRFOR) geographically located across multiple installations (CA, WA, OK, VA, MD, and FL). This extension is necessary to prevent an unacceptable break in these essential services, which would severely impact aircraft and fleet readiness, while the Government completes required corrective action and subsequent source-selection evaluations arising from a GAO protest.
