This document is a Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) for the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Protective Service Acquisitions Division. The document details the extension of task order 70RFP222FREC00019 with Triple Canopy under multiple award contract 70RFP218DEC000018 for Protective Security Officer (PSO) services at the St. Elizabeths Campus in Washington, DC. The extension is for a four-month period, with an estimated total cost of $9,826,020, and is being pursued to allow time for a complete transition and award of a follow-on competitive task order.

The justification cites unique requirements for PSO services at this location, including extensive screening, training, health, licensing, and transition needs that make an immediate contractor replacement challenging. Triple Canopy is recommended for continued service due to their familiarity with post requirements and locations, with the government determining the proposed rates to be fair and reasonable. The extension will ensure uninterrupted security services while FPS AD completes the procurement process for the follow-on effort, with the competitive task order currently being finalized and awaiting internal approvals.
