Performance shall primarily take place at the Contractor s facility. The statutory authority permitting an exception to fair opportunity is Section 41 U.S.C. 4106(c)(2) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B), entitled Only one awardee is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly specialized.

The three (3) months option provides EMPO continuity of services of the effort to a follow-on third-party contractor; The current contractor is the only source that will be able to provide these cloud broker services in accordance with the Personal Identification Verification security requirements and elevated access privileges without interruption.
