HSIN Modernization

Sources are being limited in accordance with GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(ii) in order to implement RFO Clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services. RFO Clause 52.217-8 was not evaluated at time of task order award. Due to unforeseen delays beyond the control of both the vendor and the Government, a 3-month extension is necessary to complete the HSIN Modernization. The planned 3-month extension will allow time to resolving outstanding issues related to unforeseen complexity in migrating data from legacy platform into a new, modernized platform. Resolving these issues required additional engineering resources and rigorous system validation testing to ensure data integrity and prevent system downtime. This was a latent condition that could not have been anticipated during initial project planning. In addition, it will allow for sufficient time for the transition of essential architectural designs, system configurations, open ticket histories, to guarantee seamless operational continuity to the successor vendor who will take on the role of operations & maintenance.
