About this opportunity
The U.S. Secret Service issued a notice of intent to sole source a contract to IdentiSys, Inc. for White House identification badges and associated supplies, with responses due by 11:00 AM EST on July 30, 2026. The procurement is not open to competition unless evidence of alternate capability materially changes the Government's discretionary determination. Any interested party must submit written evidence of capability to melissa.chabot@usss.dhs.gov by the deadline; telephone responses will not be accepted.
The requirement covers eight line items supporting White House Complex visitor access: premium vinyl badge holders, beaded neck chains, a Certis thermal printer with Ethernet and USB connectivity, and four types of expiring badge backs (visitor blue, law enforcement red, temporary yellow, and press purple in fanfold format) plus blank one-day expiring fronts. IdentiSys is the proposed sole source because it currently produces all White House Complex visitor badges including custom holograms and colors developed during the badge system build-out, and its thermal printer is integrated with the Access Control hardware and software systems supporting established security protocols. Delivery must be completed within 30 days of award. The contracting officer approved the acquisition under FAR 12.102(a) (FAR Class Deviation 25-21) for purchases exceeding the micro-purchase threshold but below the simplified acquisition threshold.

This announcement constitutes the only synopsis for this requirement; and is issued for notification purposes only. No known potential alternate sources exist which could satisfy USSS’s requirement.

Information received as a result of this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future. Submission of information does not guarantee this requirement to become a competitive procurement.
