About this opportunity
The Securities and Exchange Commission issued a Limited Source Justification for a 10-month contract extension (SECHQ117A0008/0001) awarded to Ascella Technologies, Inc. for National Examinations Support Services (NESS), extending from December 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The contract provides critical support activities including computer science, data cleansing, database creation, financial engineering, asset reconciliation, research, and project support. The SEC justified the limited source award based on the potential disruption and inefficiency of recompeting services for a reduced scope, as the Division of Examinations leadership plans to sunset the NESS program by September 30, 2026, due to shifting priorities and reduced budgets. The award was made under the Federal Acquisition Regulation 8.405-6 using the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule Program, with market research identifying over 4,000 small business vendors available on Schedule 70. While the specific award value is not disclosed in the justification, the original contract was structured with a 12-month base period and seven one-year option periods, with the vendor required to provide transition planning and change management support during the wind-down phase in the second half of Fiscal Year 2026.
