Award Notice - Background Investigation Services

This Special Notice is an Award Notice announcing the successful awardees for RFQ 1145PC26Q0002, a background investigation services solicitation issued by the Peace Corps. The Peace Corps, a civilian federal agency, published this notice on April 24, 2026, to publicly announce the contractors selected through a competitive procurement process. Four vendors were selected and awarded Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) on April 22, 2026, each receiving a contract award value of $150,000. The awardees are Gotham Dynamics Inc., Cummings Denise L., Sighthound Inc., and Blue Eagle Security Solutions LLC. This award notice fulfills the government's obligation to provide transparent notification of contract awards to all interested parties. The notice is classified under NAICS 561611 (Investigation and Personal Background Check Services) and PSC R615 (Support-Administrative: Background Investigation).

This Special Notice establishes multiple-award BPA vehicles to provide background investigation services to the Peace Corps across four selected contractors with a combined contract value of $600,000. As an Award Notice rather than a solicitation, this publication does not contain active submission deadlines or contractor eligibility requirements, as the competitive procurement process has already been completed and awards have been finalized. The notice identifies the specific Blanket Purchase Agreement numbers and Unique Entity Identifiers (UEIs) for each awardee, enabling other Peace Corps offices and authorized federal agencies to place orders for background investigation services under these established BPA vehicles. These four contractors now serve as pre-vetted vendors available for on-demand background investigation services, streamlining the procurement process for the Peace Corps and reducing procurement cycles for future service requirements. The total small business set-aside designation indicates that all four awardees meet small business criteria, supporting the government's commitment to providing contracting opportunities to small business enterprises.
