Justification and Approval (J&A) for Sole Source Contract

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a sole source contract award (J&A Number FY26-36) issued by the U.S. Secret Service (USSS), Office of Procurement. The document authorizes the use of simplified acquisition procedures under 41 U.S.C. 1901 for a commercial service procurement exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold but remaining under $9 million.

The USSS intends to award a firm fixed-price (FFP) contract to Assured Momentum Incorporated (8200 Greensboro Drive Suite 900, McLean, VA 22102) for urgent engineering support services for the Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) program. The base year contract period is 12 months, with the existing contracted support expiring on March 20, 2026. Funding is provided through Operations and Support (O&S) funds for Fiscal Year 2026 under Solicitation Number 70US0926Q70092661. The procurement is justified on urgency grounds due to rapidly evolving unmanned aerial threats requiring immediate, mission-critical support to maintain C-UAS operational effectiveness and security compliance. The contractor will provide system integration, technical support, operational enhancements, advanced analytics, and comprehensive program management with risk oversight. Market research was conducted from January 2026 onward, including review of acquisition history and prior contract performance. The justification emphasizes that competitive procedures would introduce unacceptable delays and operational risks during this critical period, though a follow-on competitive acquisition is planned with clear transition milestones. The J&A was signed by the Technical Representative on 03/03/2026, the Contracting Officer on 03/09/2026, and approved by the Head of Contracting Activity on 03/20/2026.
