This is a Sole Source Justification (SSJ) document for a federal procurement by the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Secret Service (USSS), Office of Procurement (PRO) on behalf of the Presidential Protective Division.

The procurement is for identification badges and associated visitor access supplies required to support authorized visitor processing at the White House Complex. The supplies needed include eight line items: premium vinyl 2-pocket badge holders, nickel-plated steel beaded neck chains, a Certis thermal printer with Ethernet and USB connectivity, and four types of expiring badge backs (visitor blue, law enforcement red, temporary yellow, and press purple in 3x3 slotted format with 1,000 fanfold per package), plus blank 1-day expiring badge fronts. The proposed sole source is IdentiSys, Inc., located at 7630 Commerce Way, Eden Prairie, MN 55344. Delivery shall be completed within 30 days after receipt of award. The justification for sole source procurement cites that IdentiSys currently produces all White House Complex visitor badges including the hologram and maintains the custom colors developed during the White House Complex badge system build-out. The thermal printer provided by IdentiSys is closely integrated with Access Control's hardware and software systems, supporting established security protocols. The contracting officer approved this acquisition on 7/29/26 pursuant to FAR 12.102(a) (FAR Class Deviation 25-21) for acquisitions exceeding the micro-purchase threshold and below the simplified acquisition threshold.
