About this opportunity
The Department of Homeland Security Office of Procurement Operations has awarded contract 70RDA226C00000006 to The Coleridge Initiative, Inc. for access to and support of the Administrative Data Research Facility (ADRF) on a sole-source basis, with a firm-fixed-price value of $2 million.
The sole-source justification cites 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), concluding that Coleridge Initiative is the only entity that owns, operates, controls, or is authorized to provide access to ADRF. The procurement implements FY26 Congressional direction from the DHS Appropriations Act, 2026 (Pub. L. 119-86) to expand ADRF capabilities, including enhanced data-sharing partnerships, expanded security measures, advanced analytical tools, and improved secure data transmission. Market research conducted June through August 2026 identified vendors offering discrete components such as secure cloud hosting, analytics tools, and data management services, but confirmed no alternative source capable of providing the integrated platform with the specialized statistical expertise, data stewardship, and governance workflows central to ADRF operations. Developing in-house capability would require 3–5 years and substantial cost; commercial cloud providers lack the essential statistical services and disclosure avoidance expertise required.
Required services include secure data hosting, privacy-preserving data linkage, statistical disclosure limitation review, managed framework for secure researcher collaboration, program management, governance support, interagency coordination, data provider onboarding, operational readiness planning, and communications support. The vendor is located at 20 F Street NW, 7th Floor, Washington, D.C. 20001. Funding is through Operations and Support Funds for Fiscal Year 2026.
