The solicitation was posted on August 8, 2025, with responses due by August 20, 2025, and all submissions must be made through FedConnect with questions directed to Contract Specialist Wes Aumiller.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designation and no incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation notice. The anticipated contract structure includes a base year plus four one-year option periods, creating a potential five-year total period of performance. While specific dollar values are not disclosed, the contract will be awarded using FAR Part 12 commercial item procedures in conjunction with FAR Part 13 simplified acquisition procedures, indicating the procurement likely falls under simplified acquisition thresholds. The services will support WAPA's Human Resources Shared Service Center operations, with performance expected to occur through the contractor's online platform accessible to WAPA employees nationwide.
