About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Administration has awarded a sole-source modification to contract 12314425F0369 with Ventera LLC (dba The Cadmus Group, LLC) for Account Management Agent (AMA) system enhancements, valued at $4.5 million, on August 7, 2026.
The modification funds specialized technical services to implement a State Cost Share Enhancement mechanism mandated by Public Law 119-21 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025), with implementation deadline October 1, 2027. Services include development of state-specific modules, automated calculation and allocation logic, user interface improvements, data integration, and security and compliance features.
The justification cites FAR Part 8 and GSAM 538.7104-3(b)(ii), arguing that Ventera LLC is the only responsible source. The incumbent possesses requisite institutional knowledge of the AMA system's complex architecture and stabilization efforts, having been competitively awarded the foundational stabilization contract. The Contracting Officer determined that competitive procurement would introduce unacceptable delays—an estimated 60-day vendor onboarding period would reduce the development window to 8.5 months when inclusive of mandatory user acceptance testing and training, while introducing significant coordination risks and technical debt.
Period of performance is 12 months (FY26) for $3 million, with a six-month extension (FY27) for $1.5 million. Pricing was verified against GSA Schedule rates, BPA negotiated pricing, labor category alignment, and an Independent Government Cost Estimate. The Competition Advocate approved the justification. NAICS 541519, PSC DA01.
