Protective security officer services for the state of new mexico

BPA: HSCEC7-09-A-00002 was awarded on July 17, 2009, with a performance start date of August 1, 2009 for PSO services throughout the State of New Mexico. Previously in accordance with FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B), "Limited Sources" and approved Limited Source Justification FY14-0381 dated September 26, 2014 a four month extension of services was awarded by modification to GSA FSS BPA: HSCEC7-09-A-00002 awarded to J. Diamond Group, Inc. under contract GS-07F-0305L. Armed PSO services under this extension ended on 31, 2015. Due to complexities encountered to date in awarding the follow-on contract such as recent transitions from the Region which will require FPS to provide additional training and adjudications there is a need to ensure uninterrupted security service coverage. As such, the existing BPA was extended for two (2) additional months which ended on March 31, 2015. Subsequently, a bridge contract will be established for five (5) more months extending from April 1, 2015 through August 31, 2015 under the incumbent's contractor's General Service Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule (FSS). This acquisition is being conducted under the authority of the Multiple Award Schedule Program in accordance with FAR 8.405-6, "Limited sources justification and approval." The proposed five (5) month bridge contract extension is to acquire continued PSO services at an approximate value of $3,044,266.14. In accordance with FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B), the circumstance restricting competition for this acquisition is there is only one source capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Protective Service (FPS) has a requirement to secure on a limited source basis continued Protective Security Officer (PSO) services at various locations throughout the state of New Mexico until award of a competitive follow-on contract is made and completed. The 5-month bridge contract shall allow the Government the necessary time to conduct discussions, adequately document its source selection, issue the award and allow for the 120-day transition. This LSJ is to acquire continued PSO Services from J. Diamond Group, Inc.
