(WHS/AD), on behalf of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and

Sustainment (OUSD(A&S)), Logistics and Materiel Readiness (L&MR), will award a sole source purchase order to ASIS International for private security company (PSC) third party certification services; namely, the review and revision of standard ANSI/ASIS PSC.2-2012.

This action is required pursuant to Section 833 of the National Defense Authorization Act

This work included development of a conformity assessment standard, published as American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard ANSI/ASIS PSC.2-2012, Conformity Assessment and Auditing Management Systems for Quality of Private Security

Company Operations. ANSI rules require standards to be reviewed every five years with decision to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw the standard. Therefore, to maintain its validity for use in DoD contracting, review and revision of the standard must occur. ASIS International is the only ANSI accredited standards developer that can review and revise the standard. ASIS

International will provide services for a period of performance of one (1) year, which is anticipated to be 31 July 2018 to 30 July 2019.
