About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) issued a sole-source Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a bridge contract to provide operations, maintenance, development, and minor enhancements to three mission-critical export and trade systems: the Veterinary Export Health Certification System (VEHCS), the Phytosanitary Certificate Issuance & Tracking (PCIT) system, and the Lacey Act Web Governance System (LAWGS). The justification for restricting competition under FAR Part 8 cites unusual urgency, as a contract lapse would immediately halt all U.S. imports and exports while eliminating enforcement capabilities against illegal timber trafficking estimated at $150 billion annually. USDA awarded the three-month bridge contract to AttainX, Inc., a women-owned small business, with a contract value of $773,828.01 and a need date of March 24, 2026. AttainX's five years of incumbent performance, established staff, and existing systems infrastructure enable immediate service continuity without transition delays. Following this bridge period, USDA plans to conduct a full competitive recompetition on the STRATUS platform with fair opportunity extended to all eligible vendors.
