About this opportunity

The Administration for Children and Families (within the Department of Health and Human Services) has awarded a sole-source task order to mPower Incorporated, a Small Business Administration Certified Women-Owned Small Business, for human capital strategic advisory support services on July 17, 2026.

The justification cites FAR 8.401 and GSAM/R 538.7104-3(b)(1), concluding that mPower is the only source capable of meeting specialized minimum requirements due to the convergence of executive-level federal human capital leadership experience, HHS and ACF-specific governance and operational knowledge, institutional familiarity with ACF's organizational structure, and ability to provide autonomous senior-level advisory support without multi-tiered consulting teams. Market research conducted between May and June 2026, including a Request for Information (RFI 1814709) and Notice of Intent (NOI 1817618) via GSA eBuy, yielded eight vendor capability statements; the contracting officer determined mPower represented best value by avoiding significant costs and operational disruptions associated with a paid readiness curve required for alternative vendors.

The task order is structured under GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract 47QTCA22D001A with a 12-month base period and two optional 12-month renewal periods, approximately 32 hours per week with surge capacity available as needed. Services include senior-level strategic advisory support in enterprise workforce planning, human capital strategy, organizational design, talent management frameworks, and federal human capital governance specific to ACF operations. Funding is from FY 2026 Operations and Maintenance Appropriations.
