Portfolio Management

Background
This justification and approval (J&A) supports the modification to add an option year to the Portfolio Management (PfM) services provided by C5T Corporation, which has been performing these services since 2022.

The modification extends the contract period from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027. The U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) requires these services to ensure compliance with statutory and regulatory obligations, particularly in light of recent organizational changes that necessitate a transition period for new governance workflows under the Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

Work Details
The contractor is responsible for several critical tasks under the PfM services:
1. **Clinger-Cohen Act Compliance**: Gather and analyze data required for the annual CIO Statement of Compliance.
2. **Cybersecurity Reporting**: Generate weekly and monthly Cybersecurity Compliance Scorecards to inform leadership of real-time cybersecurity postures.
3. **DoD IT Portfolio Repository Reporting**: Monitor and validate data reported to the DITPR, ensuring accuracy in DoD IT budget allocations.
4. **Capital Planning & Investment Control**: Assist in justifying and securing funding for USTRANSCOM IT systems through the Defense Business Council and Investment Review Board.
5. **Requirements Management Process**: Vet all new IT requirements to prevent bottlenecks in capability development.
6. **Portfolio Optimization**: Maintain analysis presentations that identify and eliminate duplicative capabilities, ensuring cost efficiency.

Period of Performance
The contract will be performed from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027.

Place of Performance
The services will be performed at locations as determined by USTRANSCOM.

Bidder Requirements
C5T Corporation is identified as the only capable source due to its institutional knowledge, personnel, and infrastructure necessary for uninterrupted service during this transition phase. No other bidders are mentioned or required.

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent, as C5T Corporation is identified as the awardee for the prior contract (47QRAD20D1091-HTC71122FD072) valued at $12,912,186, covering 10/01/22–09/30/26. The prior award description indicates COO support that includes portfolio management, and the current PfM modification continues the same portfolio management functions (e.g., compliance reporting, cybersecurity scorecards, DITPR reporting, and capital planning/investment control) through an additional option year.
