Procuring this requirement on the multiple awards schedules as a sole source award is the only way for EPA to prevent a prolonged lapse in service.<\/p>\n<p>In September 2024, GSA awarded Task Order (TO) #47QFDA24F0031 for these services and on September 23, 2024, a protest was filed with the Government Accountability Office triggering the Competition in Contracting Act\u2019s stay of performance, which resulted in a lapse of service. The proposed TO is necessary to avoid a further gap in service by restoring EPA\u2019s access to the BFS and provide project management, operations and maintenance, cloud hosting, and intermittent IT services in support of the BFS until the protest is resolved.<\/p>\n<p>This TO\u2019s period of performance will be for 6 months from the date of award (three months base period and three one-month options). The basis for the period of performance is to provide time for resolution of the protest and any corrective action, if required. The period of performance and the scope of the services are limited to the urgent services needed to immediately sustain successful budget\/funding operations \u2026<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sam.gov\/opp\/31947015f652447da7eda344902f54e2\/view\">Read more here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Related<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/orangeslices.ai\/contract-award-18m-epa-ocfo-budget-formulation-system-it-support\/\">Contract Award: $18M EPA OCFO Budget Formulation System IT Support<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/orangeslices.ai\/protest-filed-18m-epa-ocfo-budget-formulation-system-it-support-contract\/\">Protest Filed: $18M EPA OCFO Budget Formulation System IT Support contract<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Notice ID:\u00a047QFDA23K0018-0001 Contract Award Date:\u00a0Oct 18, 2024 Contract Award Number:\u00a047QFSWA18D008D Task\/Delivery Order Number:\u00a047QFDA25F0002 The GSA AAS Civilian Business Unit proposes to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Task Order (TO) on a sole source basis to KeyLogic Systems LLC (KeyLogic) under GSA Multiple Award Schedule Number 47QSWA18D008D.\u00a0 The TO will provide operations, maintenance, and modifications [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1189,"featured_media":78722,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[750570,1476,235618],"tags":[703935,8983,320160],"class_list":["post-112680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fresh-squeezed-daily","category-federal-science-and-research-agencies","category-award","tag-federal-science-and-rd","tag-environmental-protection-agency-epa","tag-keylogic"],"acf":{"uuid":""},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/news-cdn.orangeslices.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/22001828\/Untitled-design-2024-01-29T065321.791.png","publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2024-12-29 00:10:27","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category"},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/orangeslices.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112680"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/orangeslices.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/orangeslices.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/orangeslices.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1189"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/orangeslices.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112680"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/orangeslices.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112680\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":112681,"href":"https:\/\/orangeslices.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112680\/revisions\/112681"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/orangeslices.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78722"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/orangeslices.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/orangeslices.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=112680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/orangeslices.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=112680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
