Notice of Sole Source Action Extend Contract for Operation and Maintenance of the Department of Energy National Training Center

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Enterprise Assessments (EA) plans to extend the Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with Kupono Government Services, LLC (Kupono) by means other than the use of full and open competition. This document sets forth the justification for other than full and open competition under one of the exceptions to full and open competition allowed under the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 (CICA) and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).

This is a sole source action to extend Kupono master IDIQ contract 89303018DEA000003 and the four associated task orders. The proposed acquisition is to extend the IDIQ for one year and task orders for six (6) months with a an additional six (6) month option period while a follow on ten (10) year 8(a) acquisition is completed. This extension will prevent a break in performance until the transition to a new contract is complete.
