About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Assistant Secretary for Departmental Management has awarded a sole-source contract modification to Ventera LLC for software development and support services to the Food and Nutrition Agency's Store Tracking and Redemption System (STARS), valued at $1,752,674 ($904,630 for FY26 and $848,044 for FY27).
The modification restricts competition under GSAM 538.7104-3(b)(ii), only one responsible source, based on Ventera's 15-year institutional knowledge of the STARS application and its database and technology infrastructure. STARS is a mission-critical system managing over 260,000 active retailers for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The justification asserts that transitioning this work to another vendor would create unacceptable operational disruption and security risk. The modification adds a System Database Architect and three Application Developers (Junior and Senior levels) to support ATO readiness, security control implementation, cloud operations across multiple boundaries, and platform modernization including Windows Server upgrades, Azure VMware Solution migration, and technology updates (Angular JS and UI/UX improvements). Period of performance is 12 months in each fiscal year. The modification is issued under FAR Part 8 and GSAM 538.71 as a delivery order against contract 12314425F0334. The contracting office determined pricing fair and reasonable based on labor category analysis, estimated hours, historical pricing, and Federal Supply Schedule discounts.
