LIMITED SOURCE JUSTIFICATION (LSJ) FOR A FEDERAL SUPPLY SCHEDULE PROCUREMENT FAR/RFO PART 8 - ORDERS EXCEEDING THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD (OJJDP - Peer Review Support Services) The requirement for complete, accurate and timely peer review activities is a top priority for the Office of Justice Programs/ Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention to fulfill its mission. It is in the best interest of the government that peer review services be continued while the task of transitioning integral knowledge, processes, and procedures from the contractor to agency personnel in support of efficiency and economy is organized and executed in a timely and successful manner. BETAH Associates, Inc., as the incumbent, has intimate knowledge of work to be transitioned. Without BETAH Associates, Inc., under contract to transition this knowledge to the agency personnel, significant staff time will be lost, and the integrity of the peer review process will be compromised by the risk of losing data and/or documentation. OJP cannot afford to risk the integrity and quality of the peer review work. This temporary Order will limit the following risks to the Department of Justice: inaccurate information being delivered to grant applicants; incomplete or unfair peer reviews that result in making award based on in accurate information; inaccurate information being uploaded into JustGrants; documentation not filed in a timely fashion; not completing peer review activities for FY26; and unsuccessfully transferring knowledge to agency personnel that may affect performance.
