Notice of Intent to Award a Noncompetitive Modification to Retroactively Exercise a Contract Option Period

The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), Contracts and Grants Management (CGM) Division intends to issue a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other than Full and Open Competition for the retroactive exercise of a contract option period on a lapsed MCC contract, due to the impact of the Executive Order on “Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid” dated January 20, 2025 (Foreign Assistance Review).

This J&A will provide MCC the authority to noncompetitively and retroactively exercise Option Period 1 of Contract No. 95332424C0050 for Cross-Cutting Program Support (CCPS) Services supporting the Kiribati Threshold Program (THP), implemented by Management Systems International (MSI), a Tetra Tech Company. The option will be exercised with no additional funding obligated, via a bilateral modification; the existing stop work order will remain in effect pending the outcome of the Foreign Assistance Review.

See enclosed J&A for additional details.
