Blanket Purchase Agreement GS35F0404K-1605C320A0001

The Department of Labor's Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management awarded LRP Publications, Inc. a blanket purchase agreement and subsequent task orders to provide cybersecurity-related publications and subscriptions. The $280,280 blanket purchase agreement was awarded on May 29, 2020 with a period of performance through July 18, 2023. Two firm fixed price task orders were issued against the agreement, the first on July 20, 2020 for $45,471 to provide subscriptions through July 31, 2021, and the second on August 31, 2021 for $141,420 to provide subscriptions through July 17, 2024. Both task orders were issued under the agency's CYBERFEDS program with performance in Riviera Beach, Florida. No set-aside provisions were applied to these contract actions, which procured LRP Publications' CyberFeds publication and related subscription services to support the Department of Labor's cybersecurity initiatives.

The blanket purchase agreement and task orders aimed to provide the Department of Labor ongoing access to LRP Publications' online research tools and CyberFeds publication over multiple years. The CyberFeds program code and descriptions indicate the contracted subscriptions and publications were intended to support the agency's cybersecurity operations through regular access to related research, news, and analysis on cyber policy and program developments. Procuring these information resources through the vendor's GSA Schedule 70 contract vehicle streamlined acquisition activities for recurring information needs tied to the Department of Labor's cybersecurity mission.
