A07 Limited Sources Justification_Redacted.pdf

This Limited Source Justification document authorizes the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) to award a sole-source task order to Harmonia Holdings Group LLC for Background Investigations Enterprise Services (BIES) Database Administration support services. The task order will be awarded under GSA Schedule 70 Contract GS-35F-0607W for a three-year period (12-month base plus two 12-month options) at an estimated total value of $9,277,700.

The justification explains that Harmonia is uniquely qualified due to their expertise with DCSA's legacy systems, particularly the ADABAS database management system and related software (Natural, CONNX). The document emphasizes that new database administrators require 12 months minimum to become proficient in DCSA's complex systems, and switching vendors would require a 6-month overlap costing approximately $1.3 million plus $3 million annually for a new vendor. Harmonia currently provides database administrators with an average of 20 years experience and Top Secret clearances, supporting critical systems like the Personnel Investigations Processing System (PIPS). The services will continue until BIES completes its planned cloud migration.
