Situation
A federal health agency faced a contested multi-billion-dollar procurement. Leadership was under pressure to justify vendor selection to oversight committees - with mission continuity at stake if the award was successfully challenged.
Action
E.L. Hamm delivered a comprehensive Competitive Sourcing Assessment combining three integrated workstreams:
- Cost analysis: Built a defensible cost realism and price reasonableness model with clear assumptions and audit trails.
- Risk-to-flow mapping: Identified critical-path dependencies and vendor execution risks that could disrupt grant, research, and clinical support operations.
- Defensible documentation: Assembled a decision trace with evaluation factors, discriminators, and source selection rationale suitable for oversight review.
Result
- The agency successfully defended its award decision in an oversight hearing.
- Contract continuity was maintained, avoiding an 18-month delay.
- Program leaders gained a repeatable documentation package for future recompetes.
