About this file
This document is a Sole Source Justification (SSJ) from the United States Secret Service (USSS) for procuring EnforceAir Systems hardware and software maintenance. The USSS intends to award a sole source contract to D-Fend Solutions AD Inc. for Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems (cUAS) maintenance, with a base year and one option year, each lasting 12 months. The contract will be firm-fixed price, with a total value up to $7.5M, and is justified because D-Fend Solutions is the sole developer, manufacturer, and provider of maintenance services for these specific systems in North America.
The sole source justification is based on the unique nature of the EnforceAir Systems, where no other brand can provide the required maintenance. Market research confirmed D-Fend Solutions as the only capable provider. The USSS will publish a notice of intent to sole source on SAM.gov and has committed to conducting continuous market research to potentially increase competition in future acquisitions. The contract aims to ensure continued maintenance of critical cUAS systems, with the understanding that without these services, the systems may become faulty and compromise the USSS's protective mission.
