About this opportunity
The United States Agency for International Development intends to award a sole-source task order to AINS dba Casepoint for FOIAXpress Licenses and Technical Support services, with a total estimated value of $1,301,478.45.
FOIAXpress is a patent-protected, proprietary Software-as-a-Service FOIA case management system that USAID has relied on since 2007. Casepoint is the sole authorized provider of maintenance and support; no authorized resellers exist. The justification cites market research confirming no alternative vendors offer comparable features with FedRAMP certification and the deep integration with USAID systems that FOIAXpress provides. The sole-source award also prevents service lapse following completion of the prior contract 7200AA24C00107 on September 29, 2026, during USAID's ongoing agency closeout and transition process. Transitioning to an alternative system would create operational disruption, require staff retraining, jeopardize FOIA compliance deadlines, and incur substantial implementation costs at a critical period.
The base period of performance runs from award through September 30, 2027, with three 6-month option periods (two option periods plus a priced 52.217-8 extension). Pricing is Firm-Fixed-Price. The task order is awarded under GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract GS-35F-576GA. NAICS code 541519 (Other Computer Related Services); PSC 7J20 (IT and Telecom - Security and Compliance Products).
