DSCA intends to consolidate Financial Management Operations requirement

Notice ID

HS002125RE003_Consolidation

Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) requires services for operational support across all Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) divisions, to include Financial Management Systems and Data, Accounting, Budget Execution, Financial Operations and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Act Compliance divisions. Soon after the current Financial Management (FM) operational contract, HS002123F0002, was awarded it was clear that the scope of work for the FM operational work would be significantly more than originally anticipated…

Market research led us to determine that we would have a larger pool of capable vendors under GSA MAS. After this assessment senior leaders from CPO and OCFO discussed and determined that GSA MAS was the best solution for this acquisition…

As stated above, the previous contracts were awarded separately due to emerging program needs. After careful analysis, the scope of HS002123F0075 and HS002123F0002 align, and the decision has been made to consolidate under a single contract. Without the consolidation, the Government will encounter additional risk as it relates to duplication of effort to include schedule risks, procurement lead times, and overarching scope creep between both contracts.

The need to separate the actions is no longer necessary and is not advantageous to the Government. More specifically, to split the requirement and make multiple awards has high schedule risks as this would at least double acquisition documentation and reviews and require duplicate pre- and post-award administration for CPO and OCFO. Furthermore, administering multiple contracts for similar services would impose a heavy burden upon the Government, and is no longer necessary now that the FM operations requirement has matured and is more stable.
