About this opportunity
The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs has awarded a limited-source order to BETAH Associates, Inc. under GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract GS-00F-218CA for peer review support services to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, with a total estimated value of $2,221,458.50 and an award date of May 2, 2026.
The justification rests on economy and efficiency, citing the incumbent's intimate knowledge of work processes, integral documentation, and data systems required for knowledge transition to agency personnel. OJP determined that re-competing would introduce unacceptable delays and risk compromising the integrity of peer review activities through potential data loss, incomplete documentation filing, and incomplete peer review activities for FY26. BETAH Associates provides ongoing peer review support including planning, implementing peer reviews for FY25 and FY26, post-peer review activities, grant applicant notifications, documentation uploads to JustGrants, programmatic debriefs, and knowledge transfer to agency personnel. The performance period runs from May 2, 2026 to January 1, 2026. The contract is a Federal Supply Schedule procurement order exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, with contracting activity at the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Administration/Acquisition Management Division in Washington, DC. Market research was not conducted due to the bridge order award to the incumbent FSS contractor.
Notice text
LIMITED SOURCE JUSTIFICATION (LSJ) FOR A FEDERAL SUPPLY SCHEDULE PROCUREMENT FAR/RFO PART 8 - ORDERS EXCEEDING THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD (OJJDP - 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 Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention 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.
