About this opportunity
The Department of War's Washington Headquarters Services, Acquisition Directorate intends to award a sole-source follow-on contract to ACT1 Federal LLC for support services and technical assistance to the Ted Stevens Center for Arctic Security Studies under FAR 6.103-1(c)(2), with award effective September 25, 2026.
The justification rests on uninterrupted service continuation during TSC's transition to Full Functional Capacity, which requires permanent staff, IT infrastructure, and cybersecurity posture independent of temporary support. ACT1 is currently managing TSC's migration from Impact Level 4 to Impact Level 2 GovCloud systems; contractor transition would jeopardize Authority to Connect authorization and risk network disconnection. The government estimates substantial duplication of taxpayer costs during transition—multiple millions of dollars—including parallel operations expenses and extended compliance re-evaluation timelines. A Notice of Intent to Sole Source posted July 24, 2026 received one response from Dexis Professional Services LLC, which was deemed incapable due to lack of academic curriculum development experience, insufficient IT infrastructure management capability, and estimated six-month delays in academic product delivery. ACT1 was identified through market research as a qualified employee stock ownership plan employee-owned business, with an ESOP pilot application submitted May 18, 2026.
The period of performance runs from September 28, 2026 through March 27, 2029, consisting of a base period (September 28, 2026 – September 27, 2027), Option Period I (September 28, 2027 – September 27, 2028), and a six-month extension (September 28, 2028 – March 27, 2029). The contract is hybrid firm-fixed price and time and materials. Place of performance is Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska. The contract is funded with FY 2026 appropriations.
