FirstSource II Offerors:

The purpose of this posting is to provide an update regarding the FirstSource II procurement, and to provide notification to industry regarding a potential extension of the ordering period for the existing FirstSource contracts.

The Government continues to make progress in evaluating proposals submitted in response to the FirstSource II solicitation (HSHSQDC-12-R-00005), and is nearing completion of the source selection process. The Government still plans on making apparently successful offeror notifications and awards for all five (5) socio-economic categories at the same time. As noted previously, the Government intends to time the award of the FirstSource II contracts so that there is no gap in ordering capability for DHS and its components. In the event of any unanticipated delays, including size/status or other protests, the Government will extend the ordering period for the current FirstSource contracts through September 30, 2012.

Please submit any correspondence regarding the FirstSource II procurement via e-mail to FirstSourceII@hq.dhs.gov.

Regards, H. Harrison Smith FirstSource II Contracting Officer Office of Procurement Operations mailto:FirstSourceII@hq.dhs.gov
