Limited Sources Justification for Human Resources Support Services

The U.S. Secret Service (USSS), a component of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has issued a Limited Sources Justification (LSJ) Special Notice for a modification to an existing task order (70US0920F2GSA0100). The notice pertains to adding human resources support services for three USSS divisions: Classification and Position Management, Talent Management, and Law Enforcement Acquisition. The modification specifically seeks to add two Human Resources Classification Specialists and eight Staffing and Replacement Specialists to the current contract. The original task order was initially awarded on August 12, 2020, with a base period of 12 months and four additional 12-month option years, extending through August 30, 2025. The agency is sole-sourcing this modification to the incumbent contractor, FYI, Inc. of Silver Spring, MD.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to justify the direct modification of the existing contract to maintain operational continuity, particularly in light of upcoming National Security Special Events including the Presidential Inauguration. The modification will add 3,840 hours for Classification Specialists and 15,360 hours for Staffing Specialists under Option Year 4 of the contract. The USSS emphasizes that continuation with the current vendor is critical to avoid disrupting their "zero-fail" mission. While this modification is a sole-source action, the agency plans to develop a new competitive solicitation using the HCaTs multiple award contract vehicle for future requirements. Contractors should note the posted date of January 21, 2025, and the due date of February 4, 2025, though the notice appears to be informational rather than soliciting new bids. The contract falls under NAICS Category 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services) and PSC Category R431 (Support-Professional: Human Resources).
