About this opportunity
The Space Development Agency (SDA), a component of the Department of the Air Force, has published a Special Notice announcing its intention to issue a sole source Labor Hour contract for Security Escort services to Avantus Federal, LLC of McLean, Virginia. This is not a competitive procurement and is published for informational purposes only. The contract will be awarded under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, which permits sole source awards when only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The SDA is taking this action because Avantus Federal is currently providing these services under an existing contract, and the requirement has significantly and urgently expanded beyond the scope of the current agreement.
The contract period will span approximately 8 months from February through September 29, 2026, with two optional 12-month renewal periods, for a total estimated value of approximately $12.5 million (Base: $3 million; Option 1: $4.5 million; Option 2: $5 million). The anticipated award date is February 2026, with a proposal due date of February 24, 2026. Since this is a sole source award, no competitive proposals are being solicited; however, interested parties may submit questions or comments to the Contracting Officer, Ms. Shirley Karver, via email at ussf.pentagon.sda.mbx.sn-26-0009@mail.mil by the February 24, 2026 deadline. Communication must include the subject line "Notice of Intent- SDA-SN-26-0009," and telephone calls will not be accepted.
