This work is a continuation of work already being performed by the contractor on existing projects.

Other unique capabilities include a high degree of knowledge of specific leadership practices. Services are required for the design, development, testing, and maintenance of all tasks involved with cross-cutting value creation, product production acceleration, and relational best practices. It includes the technical lead for recommending and implementing applicable decision making systems, information sharing applications, customer service requests, and bench-marking practices. The responsibility requires expert knowledge in climate competencies, cultural competencies, re-balancing, interpreting customer feedback, entrepreneurial competencies, and operational cost clarification. The contractor is uniquely qualified to respond to our need for accomplishment of projects without an undue amount of preparation or assistance from PBGC. It is in PBGC's best interests for the same contractor to continue providing these services to ensure the continuity and expertise necessary for timely completion of the projects. The period of performance is for a base year plus one option year. The proposed contract increase is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1.
