This is a justification for a sole source award for a logical follow-on task order under an existing MATOC IDIQ contract. The requirement is for MEDCOE support services, including preventative medicine SME support and training services at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. The award is justified based on economy and efficiency, as it is a logical follow-on to a previously issued order. The government aims to maximize competition for future efforts by developing a new performance work statement and ensuring adequate phase-in/transition periods.
