This Limited-Sources Justification (LSJ) documents the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office of Procurement Operations (OPO), Information Technology Acquisition Center's (ITAC) intent to award a sole-source Labor Hour (LH) task order to ECS Federal, LLC for Professional Support Services (PSS) to assist the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) and Chief Data Officer Directorate (CDOD). The requirement is to provide highly specialized technical support services in data science, data governance, data strategy, and data architecture to help DHS standardize data management, develop enterprise data inventory, and create data policies and strategies.

The base period is from September 30, 2025 to September 29, 2026, with six task order line items (CLINs) covering areas like data governance, enterprise knowledge management, data operations, and data policy analytics. The task order is a follow-on to a previous Federal Supply Schedule contract, valued at a redacted total amount. The justification emphasizes the critical nature of continuity, noting that failure to continue these services would disrupt immigration enforcement operations and other mission-critical data management functions. DHS anticipates transitioning to a new AdaPTS 2.0 contract vehicle in the future and plans to competitively solicit services with appropriate lead time to ensure a smooth transition.
