About this opportunity
The Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, intends to award a limited-source task order to BETAH Associates, Inc. under GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract GS-00F-218CA for peer review support services, with an estimated value of $92,748.74.
The justification rests on efficiency and economy grounds. BETAH Associates, as the incumbent contractor, possesses intimate knowledge of peer review processes, procedures, and ongoing activities critical to the Office of Audit, Assessment, and Management's mission. The government determined that without BETAH's involvement during the knowledge transition to agency personnel, significant staff time would be lost and the integrity of the peer review process would be compromised by risk of data and documentation loss. OJP specifically cited the need to avoid inaccurate information delivered to grant applicants, incomplete peer reviews, inaccurate uploads to JustGrants, delayed documentation filing, incomplete FY26 peer review activities, and unsuccessful knowledge transfer to agency staff.
The task order covers peer review planning and implementation for fiscal years 2025 and 2026, plus post-peer review activities including notification of unsuccessful applicants, JustGrants uploads, programmatic debriefs, and final peer review tasks. Performance period runs from May 2, 2026, to November 1, 2026. No market research was conducted due to the award being made to the incumbent holder of an active GSA FSS contract. Contracting Officer Jamila A. Garrett approved the order on July 23, 2026.
Notice text
LIMITED SOURCE JUSTIFICATION (LSJ) FOR A FEDERAL SUPPLY SCHEDULE PROCUREMENT FAR/RFO PART 8 - ORDERS UNDER THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD (OAAM - Peer Review Support Services)
The requirement for complete, accurate and timely peer review activities is a top priority for the Office of Justice Programs/ Office of Audit, Assessment, and Management to fulfill its mission. It is in the best interest of the government that peer review services be continued while the task of transitioning integral knowledge, processes, and procedures from the contractor to agency personnel in support of efficiency and economy is organized and executed in a timely and successful manner.
BETAH Associates, Inc., as the incumbent, has intimate knowledge of work to be transitioned. Without BETAH Associates, Inc., under contract to transition this knowledge to the agency personnel, significant staff time will be lost, and the integrity of the peer review process will be compromised by the risk of losing data and/or documentation. OJP cannot afford to risk the integrity and quality of the peer review work. This temporary Order will limit the following risks to the Department of Justice: inaccurate information being delivered to grant applicants; incomplete or unfair peer reviews that result in making award based on in accurate information; inaccurate information being uploaded into JustGrants; documentation not filed in a timely fashion; not completing peer review activities for FY26; and unsuccessfully transferring knowledge to agency personnel that may affect performance.
Awarded contract GS00F218CA to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2026-05-02.
