JUSTIFICATION FOR EXCEPTION TO FAIR OPPORTUNITY - Moab Technical Assistance Contract (TAC) Task Order

The DOE has a requirement for continued technical assistance support at the Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) Project beyond the current, original task order’s period of performance. This is a justification for issuance of a new task order on a sole-source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency because it is a logical follow-on to the original task order. In February of 2023, the original task order’s solicitation gave all seven of the multiple-award Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contractors for the EMCBC Site TACs (awarded September 2022) a fair opportunity to be considered for Moab’s award. The winner of the competition was S&K Mission Support LLC (S&K), with an awarded period of performance of May 2023 to June 2025 after all contract options are exercised. The type of work that is proposed to be performed under the logical follow-on is the same as the services currently being performed and is, therefore, consistent with the scope described in the performance work statement of the master IDIQ contract and the original task order. The logical follow-on’s estimated cost/price is approximately $20,750,000, which, when combined with all other task orders, remains within the maximum ordering quantity of the master IDIQ contract. In addition, the logical follow-on will be issued prior to the end of the ordering period of the master IDIQ contract (ending September 2027).
