Description

The Government proposes a noncompetitive modification to Task Order 75P00123F37008, issued under Contract HHSP233201800009I, to provide interim bridge services while FOH completes the competitive follow-on acquisition and transition. The proposed modification would establish a six-month base period, November 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027, and one six-month option, May 1 through October 31, 2027. The proposed modification will increase the total estimated cost of the task order by $19,978,602.20, from $62,094,434.91 to $82,073,037.11. Performance will be limited to the services and duration supported by the approved justification and implemented through the executed modification. 

Task Order 75P00123F37008 (Clinical East), issued under IDIQ Contract HHSP233201800009I, is a time and-materials (T&M) task order with ServeFed, Inc. Before execution of the proposed modification, the Contracting Officer will confirm the applicable contract-type requirements, review the availability of any existing determination and findings (D&F), and document the basis for continued use of T&M or any proposed change in contract type. 

The proposed modification is necessary to maintain uninterrupted mission-essential services while the Government completes and awards the competitive follow-on acquisition. The recompete is currently under development but will not be completed before expiration of the existing contract on October 31, 2026. 

The Government anticipates award of the bridge modification in October 2026, using FY 2027 Service Supply funds, subject to availability and proper obligation of funds. 

The proposed bridge period is November 1, 2026 through October 31, 2027. The Government intends to transition to the competitively awarded follow-on contract as soon as practicable and does not intend to use the entire bridge period if transition to the successor contractor can occur earlier. The Government plans to solicit for the recompete in FY27.
