Purchase Order DOLB109629952

The Department of Labor's Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management awarded a $4,885 purchase order to Wycliffe Enterprises, Inc. (doing business as Wycliffe Technologies) on February 19, 2010, for installation work in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) at DOL headquarters in Washington, DC. The contract was awarded as an 8(a) sole source set-aside and was completed by March 15, 2010. Wycliffe Enterprises is an SBA-certified economically disadvantaged women-owned small business and women-owned small business, making it eligible for the 8(a) program preference under the Small Business Administration's contracting initiatives.

The firm fixed-price purchase order represents a relatively modest technology infrastructure investment focused on SCIF installation requirements at the department's Washington headquarters facility. SCIFs are secure facilities designed to contain and protect classified information, and their installation and maintenance are critical to federal agencies' national security and information protection operations. The contract's brief performance period and limited scope reflect standard procurement practices for specialized facility modifications and security installations within federal offices.
