OCS Service Desk Support

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Office of Finance Budget Acquisition and Planning, has published a Notice of Intent for a sole source award for OCS Service Desk Support services. This special notice is not a request for proposal but rather an announcement of the agency's intent to issue a single sole-source award to an identified contractor. The services will be performed at the FDA facility located at 10903 New Hampshire Avenue Building 66 in Silver Spring, Maryland. The notice was posted on August 26, 2025, with a due date of September 3, 2025. The opportunity falls under NAICS code 541519 for Other Computer Related Services and carries no set-aside designation.

The purpose of this sole source acquisition is to provide a centralized hub for information, resources, training, and analytical support to assist FDA reviewers in using OCS tools and services. The government has made a determination not to compete this proposed simplified acquisition and intends to solicit and negotiate with the identified source only. Information received through this notice will not be considered for determining whether to conduct a competitive requirement in the future. There are no specific eligibility criteria outlined for contractors since this is a sole source procurement to a pre-identified vendor. The notice explicitly states that no further solicitation will be available, indicating that the FDA has already selected its preferred contractor for these specialized support services.
