About this opportunity

The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center has issued a Limited-Sources Justification for the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) to procure 25 Virtual Acquisition Office (VAO) software subscription licenses and two inquiry Point of Contact services from Unison Virtual Acquisition Office, LLC. The justification is based on a comprehensive market research determination that VAO is the sole provider capable of delivering a comprehensive suite of acquisition support services, including daily acquisition news, legislative updates, research resources, toolkits, proprietary publications, online learning, and an AI tool. The contract is structured with a 12-month base period and four 12-month option periods, totaling 60 months, and is awarded through the GSA Schedule. Market research concluded that VAO uniquely offers all four key service categories (acquisition news, training, acquisition tools, and access to subject matter experts) at a level not matched by comparable services like federaltimes.com, fai.gov, or gsa.gov. The procurement cites FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)B as the legal authority for this sole-source acquisition, emphasizing the specialized and unique nature of VAO's services.
