The ICE BAA was solicited for Phase I and Phase II with a notional Phase III that was to be solicited at a later date. This justification provides the rationale for awarding a sole-source modification to the current Phase II contractor, to continue this work into Phase III under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements." ## Attachments * [Attachment 1](https://sam.gov/api/prod/opps/v3/opportunities/resources/files/931aca50c6f242cab58dcc8400627066/download) ## Contacts * Jon-Paul W.
