About this opportunity
The Department of Defense Washington Headquarters Service issued this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice on October 27, 2025, for a contract modification with Heidrick & Struggles International, Inc. to expand Private Sector Leadership Engagement Support Services. The modification increases the contract value from $2,316,000 to $6,376,000, representing an additional $4,060,000 in funding, with a contract period running from September 17, 2025, to April 17, 2026. The expanded scope adds executive sourcing services across multiple critical Department of War programs, including real estate, infrastructure optimization, construction, business systems and IT, personnel management, contracting and finance, schools, and commissaries, in addition to the original focus areas of shipbuilding, submarine industrial base, autonomous systems, munitions production, healthcare, and AI adoption. The justification cites urgent national security needs and evolving geopolitical threats, particularly from the People's Republic of China, arguing that full and open competition would cause unacceptable delays in addressing critical vulnerabilities in operations, supply chains, and technological systems. This sole-source approach allows the DoD to rapidly identify and vet private sector leaders capable of providing strategic guidance to modernize systems, optimize resources, and enhance operational effectiveness across essential defense programs.
