About this opportunity
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services extended the period of performance of task order #70SBUR21F00000123 under the CIO-SP3 Small Business Government-Wide Acquisition Contract to Ekagra Partners, LLC on a sole-source basis, effective June 30, 2026.
The justification cites FAR 16.507-6(b)(2), asserting that only Ekagra can provide the required DevSecOps services for the Benefits Hub system at acceptable quality levels due to the system's complexity, deep integration with CLAIMS3 and other legacy systems, and coordination requirements in the multi-contractor environment. Market research conducted through January 2026 confirmed no other vendor could execute the work without unacceptable service lapses. The extension is necessary pending resolution of protests on the planned RIVER task order transition.
The extension covers a six-month performance period from July 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026, with one two-month base period and two optional two-month periods. Services include continued development and maintenance of the Benefits Hub network, repairing detailed views and editing capacity, resolving duplicate notices, and managing production releases. The Contracting Officer determined the anticipated cost fair and reasonable based on four years of acquisition history and competitive pricing from the original June 2021 small business set-aside award. The CIO-SP3 SB GWAC remains valid through October 29, 2026. Place of performance is not specified in the posted materials.
