About this vehicle
The Department of Homeland Security Chief Financial Officer established this Master BPA for Assessment of Internal Controls Support Services on September 18, 2018, with a shared ceiling of $125.2 million. Ordering closed on September 17, 2023, and the vehicle is no longer accepting new calls.
This BPA is inactive and unsuitable for pursuit. The ordering period expired nearly three years ago, and no new task orders may be placed against it.
For context on historical activity: the vehicle funded eight task orders over its operational life, with $43.7 million obligated against a combined potential value of $51.2 million (85% burn rate). Guidehouse LLP captured the majority of the work, holding five orders worth $45.1 million combined potential value; Grant Thornton LLP held the remaining three orders worth $6.1 million. Both awardees received unrestricted (non-set-aside) orders.
Customer concentration was distributed across multiple DHS organizational units. The Office of the Under Secretary for Management and the Chief Financial Officer each placed two orders; the Immediate Office of the Secretary, Chief Procurement Officer, and Chief Readiness Support Officer each placed one. The largest single order was a $22.3 million call to the Chief Procurement Officer; the second largest was a $15.9 million call to the Chief Readiness Support Officer.
Task orders spanned time-and-materials and labor-hours pricing models. Representative order values ranged from approximately $1.5 million to $22.3 million, with completion dates between late 2021 and mid-2026. Work included internal controls and risk-management support, financial modeling, acquisition staffing, and program analysis and evaluation services for DHS financial and management offices.
