Description

TSA utilized the Option to Extend Services clause, Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.217-8, for�the TSA Information System Security Officer (ISSO) Services Task Order HHSN316201200166W /�70T03020F6NPIE008 that shall restrict the number of sources provided a fair opportunity to be considered (FAR�16.505(b)(2)). This Exception to Fair Opportunity supports the execution of this option. Use of the FAR 52.217-8 Option clause to modify the contract is necessary to avoid an interruption in required ISSO services and to allow the competitive follow on�procurement�s successful contractor an appropriate Transition-In period. The Transition-In period is� necessary to�sustain the critical operations that support TSA�s network infrastructure. It would be impractical based on the highly�specialized nature of the services, policy requirements mandating ISSO services, and the security requirements to onboard�contractor personnel to transition to a new contractor before an award has been made. (Note: The PSC Code for this action is actually D306 - IT AND TELECOM - SYSTEMS ANALYSIS.� Due to a system issue this PSC is not available to select at the time of posting. The CO has alternately selected the most closely associated PSC for this notification. )
