About this IDV
The Bureau of Diplomatic Security awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement to 3LS Consulting LLC (UEI: K9HCSMSP3RK4) on November 19, 2025, for background investigative services supporting the Diplomatic Security and Protection Service, Investigative and Counterintelligence Division, and Personnel Security Services. This civilian procurement carries a ceiling value of $700,000 and operates through November 18, 2030, providing approximately five years of service delivery. The contract was awarded without a set-aside preference, indicating open and unrestricted competition among eligible bidders. Background investigative services under this agreement support critical security clearance, suitability determination, and personnel vetting functions essential to the State Department's security operations and protection of diplomatic facilities and personnel.
The Blanket Purchase Agreement structure enables the Bureau of Diplomatic Security to issue task orders against the established ceiling value as investigative requirements arise, ensuring flexible resource allocation for background investigation workload fluctuations. Background investigations conducted through this vehicle typically include criminal history reviews, financial analysis, employment verification, reference interviews, and other investigative activities necessary to establish and maintain personnel security clearances and determine suitability for federal employment or access to sensitive government information. The five-year performance period through 2030 reflects the sustained, ongoing nature of security vetting operations within the State Department, with the $700,000 ceiling providing budgetary parameters for cumulative task order expenditures throughout the agreement's term.
