About this opportunity
The Transportation Security Administration intends to award a sole-source contract to Identification Technology Partners, Inc. for Secure Identity Management Support (SIMS) bridge services on a Firm Fixed Price basis under FAR Part 12 for commercial items, with an award date of August 27, 2026.
TSA justified the single-source award under 41 U.S.C. 1901 and FAR Subpart 12.102, citing the incumbent contractor as the only responsible source capable of providing uninterrupted support during transition to a new competitive order. The justification emphasizes the complexity of integrated workflows, embedded staff across TSA operations, and critical dependencies on the incumbent's technical knowledge. Market research confirmed multiple capable sources exist for follow-on competitive services under GSA Multiple Award Schedule with transparent labor rates; however, the bridge award preserves continuity pending full re-competition.
The contract period is six months, structured as a three-month base with three optional one-month extensions. Services include initial and recurrent biometric vetting, Rap Back biometric enrollment, DHS IDENT/HART system support, biometric standards development, automated rap sheet parsing, and data management with AI methodologies. The contract utilizes the incumbent's current GSA MAS rates with a requested discount, maintaining existing labor mix and FTE levels. Place of performance is Germantown, Maryland. A Notice to Sole Source was issued through SAM.gov on July 9, 2026, with no responses received. The estimated total contract value is redacted.
