About this opportunity
The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of Trade, Trade Transformation Office issued this Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity on January 21, 2026 to expand PM ECAT support services through an increase in staffing. The justification authorizes an increase in scope to the existing Firm-Fixed Price Task Order with Pinnacle Federal Advisory, LLC, an 8(a) certified contractor, by adding one additional full-time employee to complement the current FTE already providing these services. The rationale for the sole source approach relies on the 8(a) STARS III GWAC IDIQ contract 47QTCB22D0402, which permits directed orders to 8(a) contractors under the $4.5 million competitive threshold in accordance with FAR 19.805-1(a)(2). Pinnacle Federal Advisory, LLC was awarded the underlying GWAC contract on January 14, 2026, and the services fall under the Custom Computer Programming Services (NAICS 541511) and IT and Telecom Network Support Services (PSC DG01) categories. While the specific award value for the task order expansion is not disclosed in this notice, the expansion adds one FTE immediately to the existing support structure to fulfill PM ECAT requirements for the Trade Transformation Office.
Notice text
The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of Trade, Trade Transformation Office (TTO) issues this Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity in accordance with FAR 16.505(a)(4)(iii). It is the intent of the TTO to increase the scope of the Firm-Fixed Price Task Order awarded to Pinnacle Federal Advisory, LLC by adding one additional full-time employee (FTE) to provide PM ECAT support.
The additional FTE is needed immediately, and the current Task Order already provides one
FTE. The services of the current FTE were acquired through a directed order to 8(a) contractor Pinnacle Federal Advisory, LLC using the 8(a) STARS III GWAC IDIQ 47QTCB22D0402. 8(a) STARS III allows for directed orders under the competitive threshold, currently $4.5 million, per FAR 19.805-1(a)(2), and has the same, per order, ceiling on directed orders for all industry partners.
Awarded contract 47QTCB22D0402 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2026-01-14.
