The Department of Commerce Office of the Secretary, specifically the International Trade Administration's Office of Global Data Policy and Privacy, issued a Limited Sources Justification Notice on April 3, 2026, for a follow-on task order awarded to Trident Technical Solutions LLC d/b/a Ardent Eagle Solutions (AES) under GSA MAS Contract No. 47QTCA22D0048. The contract provides non-personal services contractor support for administering the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) Program, which facilitates lawful transatlantic and international data transfers between the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, and Switzerland. The justification for the limited source award is based on continuity of services, as this represents a logical follow-on order where competitive quotations were previously received and service disruption would jeopardize mission-critical operations supporting thousands of organizations globally. The contractor will supply administrative and operational support including reviewing self-certification and annual re-certification applications, verifying registrations, resolving disputes, and processing applications with a target one- to two-week turnaround time. The task order supports six full-time equivalent positions with potential scaling to twelve FTEs based on workload, covers a one-year base period from April 4, 2026, through April 3, 2027, with an option for an additional six months of service extension, though the contract value remains redacted.
