PMSS Extension Limited Source Justification v1_Redacted.pdf

This is a Federal Supply Schedule FAR 8.4 Sole Source Justification document for a three-month bridge contract modification with RELI Group, Inc. under GSA Federal Supply Schedule authority.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Office of Trusted Traveler Credentialing (TTC) and Contracting and Procurement (C&P) is extending support for Enrollment Services and Vetting Programs (ESVP) and Vetting Analysis Division/Security Threat Assessment Division (VAD/STAD) operations. The modification (Procurement Request PR267503A038, J&A tracking number JA-2026-04-1353) is a Firm Fixed Price modification for FY2026 with a three-month performance period and an estimated procurement value (redacted). The incumbent contractor, RELI Group, Inc., currently provides comprehensive program management, analytics, training, forensic reporting, and quality control services under existing contract 70T00225F7503N002. Services include general program and project management support, strategic planning and business process analysis, policy development support, knowledge management, training support, reporting and analytics, quality control and quality assurance, and technical and scientific support. The justification cites GSAR 53.8.7104-3(b)(ii), establishing that only RELI Group, Inc. is capable of providing uninterrupted support during the transition to new competitive contracts due to the contractor's embedded staff, security clearances, mission knowledge, and existing systems familiarity. A lapse in support would disrupt mission-critical vetting operations and delay competitive follow-on IPMSS task orders. The extension uses existing contract rates previously determined fair and reasonable through competition, and the Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated cost represents best value given the identical labor mix, effort levels, and short bridge duration.
