NASA/JSC intends to purchase the information management and media services from Tessada &Associates, Inc., the current provider under NNJ04JA52C, the JSC Information Management &Media Services (JIMMS) Contract.

The contract ends on August 31, 2010.FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii) states that full and open competition need not be provided whenthe services required by the Agency may be deemed available from one original source inthe case of a follow-on contract, for the continued provision of highly specializedservices and when it is likely that award to any other source would result inunacceptable delays in fulfilling the Agency's requirements. Therefore, under thestatutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), the Government intends to award the bridgeactivity to Tessada & Associates, Inc., the sole source of these services for the gapperiod until the Government can complete the competitive process among Small Business fora successor.
