ISF Information Technology Automation Program Development, US Embassy Beirut, Lebanon

The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management intends to award a sole source contract for the continued development of an Information Technology Automation Program (ICAP) for the Lebanese Internal Security Force (ISF). The contract will be awarded to Prime Source Technologies LLC, a Washington D.C. based firm that has been developing the ICAP software platform since 2016. The government has determined that Prime Source Technologies is the only responsible source capable of providing the required software development and support, citing their unique ability to implement government-issued change requests to the existing software code. Interested sources are invited to submit a capability statement with clear evidence of their ability to provide the required services, with responses due by December 20, 2024. The procurement will be conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, which allows for a non-competitive procurement when only one source can meet the agency's requirements.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates this is not a set-aside contract and will be a firm fixed-price arrangement. The contract will focus on continuing the development, rollout, and implementation of the ICAP software platform across connected ISF entities. While specific contract value details are not provided, the opportunity is categorized under NAICS code 541511 for Custom Computer Programming Services and PSC code 7H20 for IT and Telecom Platform Products. The contract appears to be a continuation of work initiated in 2016, suggesting a long-term, strategic technology development partnership between the U.S. Department of State and Prime Source Technologies LLC. The government retains sole discretion to determine whether to compete the action based on responses received, with a potential timeline for continued software development and implementation across ISF technological infrastructure.
