Sole source award notification

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), a component of the Department of Homeland Security, has issued a sole source award notification announcing the award of a twelve-month task order to Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. The contract, valued at $9,061,783, was awarded on September 30, 2025, under the GSA OASIS+ Multiple Award IDIQ contract authority. The task order consists of a six-month base period and two three-month option periods. Booz Allen Hamilton, headquartered in McLean, Virginia, was selected as the sole source contractor under the authority of FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(A). CBP has provided a Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity to support this sole source procurement decision.

The contract supports CBP's National Targeting Center Counter Network Division in addressing complex security threats including southwest border issues, counter-fentanyl operations, human migration challenges, and counter-intelligence activities. The scope includes mission support services, information technology support, analytical services, and rapid prototype development through the Team Avengers program, which develops custom analytical tools for various CBP and DHS operational units. CBP justified the sole source award based on the incumbent contractor's unique qualifications, immediate mission requirements, and the substantial time needed for knowledge transfer and security clearance processing for new personnel. The agency has indicated plans for a competitive procurement in fiscal year 2026 and previously issued a Request for Information in May 2025 to identify potential alternative sources. This notification serves as an industry announcement of the completed award rather than a solicitation for contractor participation.
