RFP: INL PR14979967 PSS Bridge 191NLE25R0020

The Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs is procuring interim Professional Support Services through a bridge contract to maintain continuity of mission-critical administrative and management consulting services. This solicitation serves as an interim solution necessitated by an Executive Order that imposed a 90-day pause on foreign assistance procurements, which led to the cancellation of a competitive solicitation for long-term services. The procurement will establish time and materials contracts against existing GSA contracts with pre-negotiated rates to provide administrative management and general management consulting services under NAICS code 541611. The contracting approach involves issuing multiple Blanket Purchase Agreement calls to current Third Party Contractors who are already cleared and badged to prevent service lapses. The solicitation is posted on June 26, 2025, with a proposal due date of July 6, 2025, providing a tight 10-day response window.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business contractors. The procurement will involve five current Third Party Contractors providing Professional Administrative Services, with each BPA Call anticipated to include 1-3 contractors based on immediate operational needs. Performance will occur in Washington, DC and other unspecified locations, with contractors requiring appropriate security clearances and government facility access. The period of performance dates are redacted in the available documentation, though the urgency stems from eight existing BPA Calls expiring in April and additional calls expiring in May. Each call will establish a per-call ceiling designed to accommodate multiple full-time employees, though specific contract values and budget ranges are not disclosed in the publicly available documents. The interim nature of these awards is intended to bridge the gap while the agency prepares a competitive solicitation for a comprehensive long-term solution.
