About this opportunity
The Department of Education, Office of Federal Student Aid, awarded a sole-source, firm-fixed-price task order to PPS Infotech, LLC for Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) services on September 15, 2026, valued at $661,015.
The task order was awarded under the Multiple Award Schedule Program (FSS) as a Blanket Purchase Agreement exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The sole-source justification, approved under FAR/GSAM 538.7104-3(b)(ii) (only one source capable), identifies PPS Infotech as the sole contractor with immediate operational access to the existing ESB environment, critical institutional knowledge of the system, and established integrated support processes necessary to sustain ESB operations. Market research conducted in May 2026 determined that continuation with the incumbent contractor was the only approach capable of maintaining uninterrupted service during the transition period. The ESB services are scheduled for decommissioning upon completion of this bridge task order, with remaining services to be absorbed into the PAS/AIMS system by March 2027. The Contracting Officer determined the pricing fair and reasonable and representing best value to the Government.
