HHS Legal Resources Professional Services

This Master IDIQ, awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration to provide legal resources and professional services to HHS Office of the General Counsel, is no longer available for new orders; ordering closed December 22, 2021, more than four years ago.

The vehicle supported a narrow customer base: all ten task orders funded the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration. Work encompassed paralegal and legal administrative support, document review, attorney services, human resources support, technical writing, and management analyst services, performed on labor-hour and time-and-materials basis. Task-order values ranged from approximately $438,000 to $1.63 million.

Two primes dominated the vehicle equally. ITC Federal, LLC captured six orders worth $4.2 million combined potential value; Siltek, Inc. held four orders worth $3.7 million. The vehicle's combined potential value was $7.9 million, and all of it was obligated. Ordering activity peaked in 2018 with three awards, then declined to one award in 2021, the final year of the vehicle's ordering window.

Set-aside designations show 70 percent of task orders were unrestricted (seven orders) and 30 percent designated for small business (three orders), with no other set-aside categories used. The most recent task order was awarded January 1, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2022.

Pursuit is not viable. The ordering period closed in December 2021 and no extensions or successors are indicated in the source material. Existing task orders are complete or substantially wound down, and the vehicle does not support new work.

The purpose of this Master IDIQ is to provide the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the General Counsel (OGC) with experienced and qualified professionals to perform legal resources and additional services, which shall encompass, but are not limited to the following: Paralegal and Legal Administrative Support Services, Formal Facilitation of Focus and Other Types of Groups, Technical Writing and Editing, Human Resources Support, Information Technology Support and Budget Support.
