About this opportunity
The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management has awarded contract 19AQMM26C0023 to Digital Masons on a sole-source basis for audiovisual system operations and maintenance services supporting the Executive Secretariat Operations Center, effective September 30, 2026.
The justification cites FAR 6.303-1, only one responsible source, establishing that Digital Masons possesses proprietary knowledge of the Operations Center's mission-critical audiovisual system that no alternative contractor can replicate without unacceptable operational risk. The original system was installed by Diversified and has become effectively obsolete due to retired software platforms (non-standard Python and Global Scriptor) and absent supporting documentation. Digital Masons conducted over one year of hands-on study under emergency break-fix contract 19AQMM23P1308 and developed demonstrated expertise in system maintenance and operational requirements unique to the facility's diplomatic security restrictions. Any alternative contractor would require reverse-engineering the system from a standing start, posing unacceptable risk during mission-critical crisis response operations.
The procurement authority cited is 41 USC 3304 and FAR 6.103. The contract requires on-site audiovisual field engineers and on-call programmers holding TS/SCI security clearances. Fair and reasonable cost determination is based on GS-equivalency rates for IT Specialists and Electronics Technicians, plus Department of Labor rates for Program Managers and field technicians. The contract is structured as Firm-Fixed-Price with a Base Year, Option Year 1, and Option Year 2. The Operations Center plans to pursue future open competition after system stabilization.
