The Department of Homeland Security's United States Secret Service awarded a single award blanket purchase agreement to The Ardian Group Inc. to provide credentialing services. Under two firm fixed price call contracts issued against the BPA, Ardian will deliver credentialing support for events in New York and Washington D.C. totaling approximately $37,577. The first call is for $26,254 to credential individuals for UNGA 76 activities in New York from April 2021 through October 2021. The second call values at $11,323 for general credentialing services in Washington D.C. through October 2021. No set-aside provisions were specified for either award. As the federal agency responsible for protecting national leaders and diplomatic personnel, the Secret Service relies on credentialing contracts to properly screen and identify individuals requiring access to protected venues and events. The Ardian Group will leverage their expertise in credentialing programs to facilitate the Secret Service's protective missions under this IDV vehicle.
The blanket purchase agreement established between the Department of Homeland Security's United States Secret Service and The Ardian Group provides a contracting mechanism to fulfill the agency's credentialing requirements on an as-needed basis. The initial BPA ceiling valued at $225,000 over its one year term expiring in February 2022. Against this agreement, two firm fixed price call contracts have been awarded to Ardian totaling $37,577 to deliver credentialing support for the 76th United Nations General Assembly in New York as well as general credentialing services in Washington D.C. through October 2021. Proper credentialing is integral to the Secret Service executing its protective duties at high-profile government functions and diplomatic events. This IDV award streamlines the provision of these critical services.
