Application Layer Support for Data Ceneter Managed Service Migration (DCMSM) - Managed Service Provider (MSP)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Office of the Chief Information Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, Atlanta, GA 30222, hereby announces its intent to issue a sole source modification in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, Only One Source, to Perspecta Enterprise Solutions LLC, 15050 Conference Center Drive, Chantilly, VA 20151-3857, to allow for support of the applications on the Data Center Managed Service Migration (DCMSM) – Managed Service Provider (MSP) Task Order and provide full-stack support for all cloud hosted applications.The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) as cited in FAR 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." Perspecta is the incumbent contractor on CDC’s DCMSM-MSP task order, which was issued under NIH’s NITAAC CIO-SP3 contract vehicle. When the task order was competed in July 2020, it was expected that the selected vendor would provide firmware,

middleware, and other services to CDC private and public cloud-based applications. CDC’s initial requirement anticipated Application Layer support from other vendors; however, CDC requires the vendor managing the full system to ensure change management control and security of applications and data, and the current multi-vendor support model does not align with this requirement and has introduced difficulties and inefficiencies. As CDC’s incumbent contractor supporting CDC’s cloud hosted applications, Perspecta is the only vendor capable of providing full-stack support for applications hosted on the DCMSM-MSP requirement. When the DCMSM-MSP requirement is available for re-competition, full-stack support will be the expectation for all venors and will be available for all competing vendors to respond to during competition.Responsible sources that believe they possess the expertise and capabilities identified above are encouraged to submit to the Contracting Officer within 10 days from the posting date of this notice, their written capabilities statement, proposal or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. Please forward the capability statement and/or pricing information to David Dombeck, Contracting Specialist, Reference 2022-09742, Centers for Disease Control, Procurement and Grants Office, ATTN: David Dombeck, MS: K-14, 2900 Woodcock Blvd., Atlanta, GA 30341. All vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to an award of a federal contract. The website is: www.sam.gov.The Government will review any/all capabilities statements and pricing information submitted and determine if other qualified sources do exist that could provide this requirement in the future. Information received in response to this announcement will be used solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future.
