About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Rock Island (ACC-RI) has awarded a sole-source task order to Groundswell for its Audit, Inspection, and Review Solution (AIRS) via the DoD ESI BPA N66001-24-A-0061, supporting the Civilian Human Resource Agency transition to the Enterprise Business System - Convergence (EBS-C) and its financial audit operations.
The justification rests on FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B) and the unique, highly specialized nature of Groundswell's AIRS product. AIRS is proprietary software built natively on the Appian Low-Code Platform with specialized integration capabilities that enable seamless integration with the Appian interface within EBS-C. Army Audit Agency policy mandates AIRS for audit readiness. Market research confirmed that competing GRC and audit management products on GSA Schedules and other commercial portals lack native SaaS integration with the Appian Defense Cloud or Army's EBS-C interface. The government considered alternatives—contract action suspension, in-house resources, and competitive procurement—but determined all non-viable due to substantial re-development costs, schedule delays, and failure to meet mandatory federal audit readiness timelines under AAA Policy Memorandum 2025-007.
The procurement includes software subscription, sprint team development, and operations and maintenance support for CHRA's Army Financial Statement Audit Tool. This action is a follow-on to contract W519TC25FA238. The award date was September 23, 2026. Estimated dollar value and period of performance are redacted in the published justification document. Place of performance information is not specified in the source.
