About this opportunity
The Department of Homeland Security Office of Procurement Operations has awarded a three-month sole-source extension to BridgePhase, LLC under GSA Schedule contract GS-35F-687GA for continued Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN) Technology Modernization services.
The justification cites GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(ii) and invokes RFO Clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, which was not evaluated at the time of the original task order award. The extension is necessary to resolve unforeseen complexity in migrating data from legacy platforms that were extensively customized 15–20 years ago. Government shutdowns caused delays in requirements gathering, and technical issues required additional engineering resources and rigorous system validation testing to ensure data integrity and prevent system downtime. The three-month period also allows time for transition of essential architectural designs, system configurations, and open ticket histories to guarantee seamless operational continuity to the successor vendor who will assume operations and maintenance responsibilities.
BridgePhase is uniquely capable of completing the remaining work as the original developer with direct knowledge of the system's architecture and configurations. The extension funds 22 full-time contractors, including architects, developers, and designers, and supports infrastructure development, maintenance transitioning, security compliance, and community of interest migration. Market research using GSA's CALC Tool confirmed that BridgePhase's proposed rates are below GSA average rates for comparable labor categories. The contracting officer has certified that the extension represents best value to the Government. The subsequent Operations & Maintenance acquisition for the HSIN Platform was competitively awarded in September 2026.
Notice text
Sources are being limited in accordance with GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(ii) in order to implement RFO Clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services. RFO Clause 52.217-8 was not evaluated at time of task order award. Due to unforeseen delays beyond the control of both the vendor and the Government, a 3-month extension is necessary to complete the HSIN Modernization.
The planned 3-month extension will allow time to resolving outstanding issues related to unforeseen complexity in migrating data from legacy platform into a new, modernized platform. Resolving these issues required additional engineering resources and rigorous system validation testing to ensure data integrity and prevent system downtime. This was a latent condition that could not have been anticipated during initial project planning. In addition, it will allow for sufficient time for the transition of essential architectural designs, system configurations, open ticket histories, to guarantee seamless operational continuity to the successor vendor who will take on the role of operations & maintenance.
Awarded contract GS-35F-687GA to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2024-07-08.
